Mass for parishioners who died in the past year

Mount Saint Joseph (Rahoon) Cemetery
As a special part of the November month of prayer for the dead, Mass this evening, Saturday 5th November, at 6.30pm will be offered for parishioners, those who worshipped here, and those whose funerals took place here, who died during the year.
This Sunday's second reading has these words of hope:
We want you to be quite certain, brothers, about those who have died, to make sure that you do not grieve about them, like the other people who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that it will be the same for those who have died in Jesus: God will bring them with him.                                     First Letter of St Paul to the Thessalonians 4:13-14
