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.
BLESSING OF THE CEMETERIES
The annual Blessing of the Saint Stanislaus Cemetery, Saint Peter and Saint Paul Cemetery and
Holy Cross Cemetery will take place on Sunday, November 1, 2015, in the early afternoon. More
information will follow.
ALL SOULS ENVELOPES
Please remember to hand in your All Souls remembrance envelopes. They will be placed of the two
Side Altars this year.
