Since all believers are bound together by the love of Christ, the dead are not beyond our love. We are linked to the dead, just as when they were alive; and so our motivation to pray for them is love. Our prayers are offered for the faithful departed we have known personally, and even for those no one remembers.

PLEASE RETURN ALL LISTS BEFORE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER IF POSSIBLE.

The Annual Mass for our beloved dead will be held on Friday 7th November at 7.30pm in St. Patrick’s Church. At the Liturgy we will remember all our dead and bereaved parishioners with a special emphasis on those who have lost loved ones within the past year. Named candles will be available for relatives of those who have died within the past year in our parish. If you have lost a loved one who has been laid to rest OUTSIDE OF THE PARISH WITHIN THE PAST YEAR and wish to light a candle in their memory at the Remembrance Mass please contact Parish Office.
