Cemetery Memorial Mass

Our annual summer memorial Masses offer the opportunity to participate and pray for family members and friends who have moved on from this life. You are welcome to attend even if you do not presently have loved ones in a particular cemetery.

Prayers and participation in these Masses is a powerful witness to the important role of praying for the dead, and to our Catholic faith in a life with Christ after death.

"The Mass is the highest form of prayer in the Church, and the most effective prayer that could be said on behalf of those who have gone before us. In Masses for the dead,..."the Church offers the Eucharistic sacrifice of Christ’s Pasch for the dead so that, since all the members of Christ’s Body are in communion with one another, what implores spiritual help for some, may bring comforting hope to others.” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 379)
