Holy Days and Traditions in Autumn
|
Book of Life
A tradition at SCL is to enshrine the
Book of Life in the church from October 27 through
November 30. You are invited to write in the names of
any deceased persons that have not already been inscribed there.
Parishioners will remember these dear departed souls in prayer
during this time.
All saints Day
This holy day of obligation is on Friday, November 1.
The Vigil Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, October 31 at
7:00pm. Masses on Friday will take place at 9:00am and
7:00pm.
All Souls Day
On Saturday, November 2, we will observe the
time-honored tradition of remembering all who have passed away.
For this occasion, a special memorial ritual will take place as part
of the 5:00pm Mass that evening. We pray in special remembrance
of those who have passed away, especially in the last 12 months.
Día de los Muertos
Day of the Dead is celebrated in central and
southern Mexico on November 1 and 2, coinciding with the Catholic
holy days of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. The central belief
of Día de los Muertos is that the gates of heaven are opened at
midnight on October 31 and the spirits of all deceased children
(angelitos) are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours.
Then, on November 2, the spirits of deceased adults come down to
enjoy festivities that are prepared for them.
