November Lists of the Dead
Throughout November we remember in a special way our loved ones who have died. Frs. Dan, Roderick and Liam will each offer a novena of Masses especially for deceased parishioners. Pre-printed commemoration sheets are available in all our churches for those who would like to write a list of deceased relatives and friends. These can be placed before the altars and those listed will be remembered during our November Masses. It is a good and wholesome thing to pray for our dead.
