November: Month of Remembrance Each year, our church in its wisdom, sets aside the month of November as an opportune time when we are asked to remember and pray for our departed loved ones.

It begins with our celebration of the Feast of All Saints on Sunday November 1st. This great feast is followed by All Souls Day on

Monday 2nd. Of all the feast days we celebrate over the course of a year, these are the ones that resonate with each one of us, when we remember our own departed loved ones, whom we pray are now enjoying eternal rest. When we remember and pray for our loved ones, particularly in November, their personalities and stories live on.

We all have our own individual ways of keeping their memories alive.

For some it is visiting a family graveside to say a prayer or place fresh flowers.

For others it will involve writing the names on a list of the dead and placing them in a box near the altar in each of our 4 churches.

They are then prayed for at each mass that is celebrated.

For others it may be lighting a candle placed in front of a photograph of their loved ones as they offer a silent prayer of thanksgiving.

In our parish church of St. Mary’s, we have placed our Remembrance Tree in the sanctuary.

It contains the names of the 47 people who have died in our parish over the past year.

The highlight of our remembrance for them will culminate with the celebration of our special mass of remembrance on

Friday 20th November at 8pm, in St. Mary’s church, when we invite their families to come to honour and pray for them.
