During the month of November there are several events to remember our beloved family members or friends who have died. On the 2nd of Nov we have the feast of the Holy Souls on the 15th we have the Mass for all who have died in the Parish over the last year. A candle is lit for each one. Then there is the renewal of the Altar List of the Dead; the ancient tradition of writing the names of our dead and having them put before the Altar on the First Fridays of each month. The 15th is also the World Day of remembrance for road traffic victims. So perhaps for this week we can choose for our WOW’s sites that help us think about these issues.
