ALL SOULS DAY and CANDLES

Thursday, November 2^nd, is the Feast of All Souls, the day we remember our dead. The three traditional All Souls Day Masses will be offered at 7:30am (Engl.), 12:00 noon (Engl.) and 7:00pm (Lith.). Following the evening Mass we will have the traditional Lithuanian All Souls procession and prayers for the dead. We invite the families who have lost a loved one since last November 2^nd, to participate in the commemoration. An All Souls Day envelope is included with the offering envelopes with space to include the names of the dead you want to be remembered in the Masses.

     In addition, All Souls Day candles will be available at the Rectory which can be inscribed with the name of the deceased you want remembered. These candles will burn for 5 days beginning on November 2^nd. The donation for each All Souls Day candle is $5. We invite everyone to participate in this commemoration.
