Box for November Holy Souls |
There are envelopes at the back of the
churches for you to enter a list of names of your loved ones to be
prayed for during the month of November (labelled ‘Holy Souls’). An
offering for Mass to be offered for them can be included in the envelope.
Please either place in the box marked Holy Souls or in the offertory
basket.
The Mass is the greatest prayer we have as Catholics. It is a
great act of charity to pray for those who have gone before us, especially
for those who have no one to pray for them.
Eternal rest, a prayer for those who have died
Eternal rest,
grant unto them O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon them,
may they rest in peace, Amen.
