All Saints’/All Souls’ Table of Remembrance and Vigil Friday, October 31 and Saturday, November 1 | 5 PM - 7 PM

As we remember the great cloud of witnesses and those who have gone before us, St. Mary’s will host a Table of Remembrance on All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days. You are invited to bring a photo or small memento of loved ones no longer with us and place it on the table as a way of honoring their memory. Each evening, we will hold a Candlelight Vigil - a quiet time of reflection and prayer for all who grieve and for the faithful departed. Come, light a candle, say a prayer, and remember those who continue to live in God’s eternal love.
