As the feasts of All Saints and All Souls approach, we are reminded of our hope of eternal life and our duty to pray for the dead. The names of those from our community who have died since October 16, 2021 are listed on our website under Pastoral Care. If your loved one was a member of Nativity of Mary and is not listed there, please contact Beth Gaetz by Wednesday, October 26 so their name can be included in our All Souls Mass of Commemoration of the Faith Departed.
All are welcome to attend our Mass of Commemoration of the Faithful Departed on Wednesday, November 2nd, at 6:00 PM. After celebrating the glory of the saints who we know are in heaven on the Feast of All Saints (November 1), the following day (All Souls Day) theChurch turns its attention to praying for those who have died but are not yet in heaven. At this Mass, we will read the names of those from our parish who have died in the past year; however, you may offer this Mass for your deceased loved ones as well as for those who have no one to pray for them. We hope you join us in this great spiritual work of mercy.
