Praying for those who have died is an important duty for all Christians. One of the most efficacious ways we can do this is by celebrating a Mass of Requiem.
In a Requiem, we remember the souls of our departed loved ones and friends and give thanks for their lives. We pray God will make them ready to be welcomed into his kingdom. We do this by presenting to God afresh the saving sacrifice of his Son, which is our only hope of everlasting life.
Near All Souls’ Day, 2nd November, each year a special Requiem takes place when we make our annual remembrance of the departed and remember all those who have died.
Father Guy always happy to celebrate a Requiem upon request from any parishioner, especially upon the news of the death of a loved one.
