We remember all our beloved dead, especially our family members and friends, our parishioners, and especially those who have died in this past year. We pray that all the dead will know God’s mercy and feast at the banquet of heaven.
The Book of the Names of the Dead will be at the St. Joseph altar during the month of November; you are invited to write the names of your departed family member and friends there so that we can remember them in prayer this month.
