Wednesday, November 2 at 7:00 PM November is a month dedicated to praying for the deceased.

We carry on the long tradition of praying for the dead with the celebration of the Mass being the highest form of prayer we can offer for our loved ones. Please join us for a special Mass of Remembrance on Wednesday evening, November 2nd, at 7:00pm. On this, the Feast of All Souls, when the Church commemorates all the faithful departed, we of Saint Patrick Parish will remember our own beloved dead. As we gather and pray, we will announce the names of those who were buried from this parish over the past year, and we will pray for all those whose names are listed in the Book of Remembrance. All are welcome to join us for this special commemoration followed by light refreshments in Our Lady of Providence Hall.
