All Saints &amp; All Souls

There is no obligation to attend Mass this coming Saturday, the Feast of All Saints, because it is so close to Sunday this year. Mass in the Extraordiary Form (Traditional Latin Mass) will be at 9am for those who wish to participate.

There is an ancient custom in the Church to remember to pray for the souls of all those who have died during the month of November. We will do this in a special way on Sunday, November 2nd as we celebrate All Souls Day.
