REMEMBERING OUR DECEASED
MASS AT DIVINE MERCY
This year we would like to add to our tradition
of remembering those who have died during
this past year. We have always mentioned the
names of those who have died during the year
and lit a candle in their honor. This year we
are doing the same ceremony but are asking
that those who have buried a loved one from
Divine Mercy Parish this year to bring a picture
of their loved one to that mass and after the
candle is lit, to place your picture on either the
Altar of Saint Francis or Our Lady of
Czestochowa. If you would like to participate
in this ceremony we ask that you bring a
framed (no larger than a 5 in. x 7 in.) picture of
your deceased loved one to Mass on the 7th of
November at the 4:00pm Mass. Please attach
your name and phone number to the back of
the picture (all pictures will be returned). The
pictures will remain on the altars till the First
Sunday
of
Advent.
Please
consider
participating in this ceremony to honor our
beloved deceased. Thank you.
ALL SOULS ENVELOPES
Please remember to hand in your All Souls
remembrance envelopes. They will be placed
of the two Side Altars this year.
Eternal rest grant unto them,
O Lord.
