During the COVID-19 pandemic, parishioners are being asked to remember all fellow members who have passed away during this last year at the Communication of All the Faithful Departed Catholic Church.
"It is our parish practice in November to remember and pray for those listed on the scrolls. The names of the 76 will be read aloud at this Sunday’s 9:00 a.m. livestreamed Mass. We have invited their family members to be present for this otherwise private mass," Fr. Klein said in the bulletin.
The church also encourages everyone to remember to pray for these 76 members who have died in addition to praying for their families.
"The 76 deceased were parents,siblings, spouses, children, and close friends of many who now grieve. Pray for the family members and friends left behind that the Lord may strengthen their belief in the promised new life that awaits believers who die. Pray that they be surrounded by family,friends, and fellow parishioners who love them and can assure them that they are not alone in their grief," Fr. Klein said in the bulletin.
