During the month of November, the church remembers the faithfully departed in a special way as it celebrates the feasts of All Saints and All Souls. These celebrations afford the opportunity to reflect upon the memories of loved ones and the mystery of death. It is a reminder to us that death is not a final human action, but rather the pathway to Eternal Life. Our Faith teaches us that death is not an end, but a new beginning. We call to mind our own mortality as we pray for those who are in need of our prayers, including the souls in Purgatory.

On Wednesday, November 1, 8:10am, Mass of All Saints will be offered at Church of the Holy Family.  The Feast of All Souls Mass will be celebrated in the Cuneo Chapel at Saint Ignatius College Prep at 7:30am on Thursday, November 2. We invite families who have suffered the loss of a loved one to participate in the remembrance of all of the faithful departed and for those who may yet be waiting for the full joy of Heaven.
