The Feast of All Saints is one of the major feast days in the life of the Church. On this day we baptize new “saints,” remember the mothers and fathers of our faith throughout the ages (“cloud of witnesses”) and also offer prayers for those whose lives and faith have shaped us. We will have an All Saints’ Day Eucharist at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, November 2nd, and will have baptisms on Sunday, November 6th.
One of our customs at St. George is to read the necrology (a list of those who have died) of members of St. George who have died since last All Saints’ Day. We also offer the opportunity to have prayers at the altar for all those in our lives we wish to remember.
If you would like to recognize a loved one who has gone into the nearer presence of God, please email the name to Fr. Ram (rlopez@saintgeorgechurch.org) by Monday, October 31st. If your loved one was a member of the St. George and died since last All Saints’ Day, we will already have that name. If you would like to make sure, please email Marilynne Herbster (mherbster@saintgeorgechurch.org).
