Our Catholic Church celebrates the noble souls of our faithfully departed each November. On Sunday, November 3rd at the 11 a.m. Mass we will recall the names of all those who have died in 2024 and were buried from our parish. The Book of the Dead will be placed before the altar, our cantor will recall the names aloud of our deceased loved ones this year, then a bell shall toll and a moment of silent prayer will be offered as I incense the names inscribed upon our Memorial Book. In front of the altar on that same day, and lasting all November long, your ALL SOULS ENVELOPES complete with your loved one’s names PRINTED on them will be remembered at every Mass celebrated in November here at St. Catherine of Siena. Additionally, if you included your loved one’s names on the All Souls envelope, each morning and night as I pray the Breviary I will pray for them. So, if you wish your deceased family members and friends to be remembered at all of the Masses in November and in the priest’s Breviary prayers each day, utilize your ALL SOULS ENVELOPES and please, please PRINT any and all names. Thank you! If you do not have parish envelopes, you may find some ALL SOULS ENVELOPES in the atrium and vestibule of the church.
