“The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God”
Join us on All Souls' Day, Wednesday, 2 November at 7.00 pm for our annual Requiem Mass for All Faithful Departed. The choir will sing some of the most beautiful music of the year, and we'll remember by name all those who have departed this life in faith.
This is one of the most moving liturgies of the year as it holds in tension both Christian hope and human grief. The Agnus Dei from John Rutter's Requiem portrays the duality that the All Souls' liturgy conveys so beautifully: "in the midst of life, we are in death; of whom may we seek for succour . . . whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."
Please join us for a beautiful service of faith, sorrow, and hope as we remember before God "all those who rejoice with us, but upon another shore, and in a greater light, that multitude which no man can number, whose hope was in the Word made flesh, and with whom in the Lord Jesus we are for ever one."
This is a beautiful, tender liturgy and a great opportunity to invite someone to come to church with you. A reception will follow Mass, and all are invited.
