It has been tradition in many parishes to celebrate and remember loved ones who have died over the past year. Often it takes place around the celebrations of All Saints and All Souls Day. Of course, the pandemic changed all of that for us. Thankfully, things are now slowly settling into a new normal.
We will be celebrating a Memorial Mass at St. Joseph Church on Sunday, May 28 at 2:00pm as we end the Easter season with the Solemnity of Pentecost. The Easter season is always a powerful time to rejoice in the gift of eternal life given to us by Christ. This celebration is open to everyone!! We will also be hosting a reception following the Mass at the Spirit & Life Centre.
We sent invitations to families who have lost loved ones and whose funerals were celebrated in our family of parishes over the last couple of years as a special way to offer continued comfort and support.
Anyone is welcome to attend the Mass, but if you can't, it will be live-streamed on our Youtube channel chathamcatholic.tv
