Monday November 2 is All Souls Day a feast dating back to around 998 when the Benedictine monastery of Cluny began celebrating a feast to remember all of their dead monks. The practice of rembember in the faithful departed continued to grow and is today one of the most treasured feasts in the church. This week when you come to mass you will find The Book of the Names of the Dead prominently displayed in front of the ambo. You are invited to write the names of the departed you would like remembered in masses celebrated throughout the month of November. May the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
