We do this in a special way on the Feast of All Souls, November 2, and throughout the month of November. Here at St. Patrick’s, we have the Names of the Dead placed in the Sanctuary of the Basilica where they will remain to be remembered throughout the month of November, and at masses throughout the year. The following prayer is recommended throughout this month in private and communal recitation: “Eternal Life grant to them, O Lord. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.” MEMORIAL MASS FOR DECEASED PRIESTS OF OUR DIOCESE The 12:10 p.m. mass on Wednesday, November 5th, will be celebrated here at St. Patrick’s as a memorial for the deceased priests of our Archdiocese; Bishop Thomas Dowd will preside with many priests concelebrating.
