Mass of Remembrance, Nov 5

Our annual All Souls' Mass of Remembrance is next Wednesday, November 5 at the 5:30 PM Mass. This liturgy is for those who have experienced a loss in the past year and for all of us to pray for the dead. During the month of November, the names of our deceased parishioners and those who have had funerals at St Brendan in the past year are inscribed on banners that hang behind the altar. Blank banners will be in the gathering area this Friday for you to write the names of your own deceased loved ones. Let's remember all the souls of the faithful departed in prayer!
