St. Aloysius will have the Mass of Remembrance on Saturday, Nov 2nd at the 4pm Mass. Holy Spirit will have the Mass of Remembrance on Sunday, Nov 3rd at the 11am Mass. St. Bonaventure will take place at the 10am Mass on Sunday, Nov 3rd and All Saints at the 11:30am Mass. Next of kin should have received a letter from the parish office informing them of this special Mass. Family members are encouraged to attend as well. Following the homily, the names of each of the deceased members will be read aloud and family members will have the opportunity to come up and light the candle with the name of their loved one inscribed.
