Remembrance Candle Ceremony
The tradition of our Church is to remember the holy souls in Purgatory especially during the month of November. On November 5th & 6th in a special Remembrance Candle-lighting Ceremony, everyone will have an opportunity to come forward during Mass to light a candle in memory of the members of their family who have passed on and are presently with God or still on their way to being united with our heavenly Father. It will also be an opportunity to remember those who so courageously and selflessly gave their lives in war so that we may live.
