Each year during November, the month of the Holy Souls, the Parish celebrates a Mass in memory of those who were called home to God in the previous 12 months and have a connection with the Cathedral.

This year we will celebrate this memorial as part of the 5.30pm Mass on Saturday 11 November.

Everyone is very welcome as we remember those who have died and prayerfully support those who grieve their passing. All are very welcome to join us for this special commemoration. At the beginning of Mass, we will invite a representative from those families to light a candle of remembrance that will shine in memory of their loved one throughout the Mass. All are welcome
