On All Souls’ Day the Church prays for all the faithful departed, those who await that day when they will join the company of all the saints. This feast reminds us all that even after death, we are linked with our loved ones and fellow-travelers in an unbroken line of faith, hope and love. All Souls’ Day gives us the opportunity to strengthen that bond, to remember those who have died, and to inspire and strengthen one another as the community of believers still here on earth.
Each year All Souls’ Day is observed at the Cathedral of Christ the Light with a Solemn Requiem Mass, celebrated by Bishop Barber. This year the Cathedral Schola Lumen Gentium will sing the Requiem composed for choir and orchestra by Gabriel Fauré.
We invite you to consider a gift in honor of a deceased loved one in support of this Requiem Mass and the music ministry of the Cathedral of Christ the Light. For a memorial gift of $100, your named family member or friend will be remembered at Mass and be included in the commemorative program.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to remember those who have died, and to inspire and strengthen one another as the community of believers still here on earth.
