ALL SOULS DAY: The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed is on Saturday, November 2. On this day, we pray for all the faithful departed who have passed out of this world. Please join us for Mass at Holy Martyrs at 9:00 am (Latin Requiem Mass) and at Sacred Heart (English) at 8:15 am, and Midday Prayer at Holy Cross Cemetery in Yarmouth at 12:00 pm on November 2. Midday Prayer is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, which is the daily prayer of the Church. The praying of the Midday Prayer for this day includes three psalms, a reading, and a prayer from the Office for the Dead. Through Mass and Midday Prayer, we will pray that their sins may be forgiven, they are delivered from Hell, and they are taken up by the holy angels to the Heavenly Kingdom. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, receive pardon and everlasting rest.
