ANNUAL MEMORIAL MASS

Each year in the month of November, the Church celebrates two great feasts: All
Saints (November 1st) and All Souls (November 2nd).​One of the most consoling
truths of our Catholic Faith is that when our loved ones pass from this life,
they are not beyond our ability to reach them. In a real and beautiful way, our
deceased loved ones are able to help us and intercede for us. Quite literally,
they are only a prayer away.Of all the prayers we have, the most powerful one is
the Mass. Each year, we at the Church of the Resurrection we offer a special
Mass for those who have passed away throughout the past year.​The Knights of
Columbus will hold their Memorial Mass on Tuesday, November 10th at 7:00pm and
our Parish Memorial Mass will be held on Wednesday, November 11th at 7:00pm.
