31st Sunday in Ordinary Time
Commemoration of All the Faithful departed
November is the month of the Holy Souls when we pray for all our dead relatives and friends. Each weekday 10am Mass during November will be offered for all those mentioned in our November Dead Lists.
‘Those who die in grace
go no further from us
than God
and God is very near.’
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them may they rest in peace. Amen.
