All Souls Day Memorial Mass
A special Memorial Mass is celebrated each year on November 2, the feast of All Souls, for the souls of the parishioners and their relatives who have died during the past year. The Memorial Mass takes place in the evening. The names of each person remembered at the Mass are read aloud during a special candle lighting service.
Divine Mercy Novena
St. Faustina Kowalska, who was canonized by Pope John Paul II on April 30, 2000, was an uneducated Polish nun from the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in POland. Her writings are the source for this beautiful and powerful devotion. The novena begins following the Good Friday service and concludes with a Eucharistic Holy Hour on the Feast of Divine Mercy (the Sunday after Easter). Materials are made available for parishioners who would like to participate but prefer to pray the novena at home.
