have died in past years. Families of our recently deceased have received a special invitation inviting them to receive a personalized candle engraved with their loved one’s name. The candles will be available in the foyer of the church before the Mass. During a special ritual each candle will be lit in loving remembrance. All are asked to bring a framed picture

of your loved one to be placed beside your candle in the front of the church. After Mass, please take your photo and candle home with you. We encourage you to light your candle as often as you wish

and on special days as a reminder that your loved one certainly does live within your heart.

This Mass honors all those whose names are listed in our Book of Remembrance. All are invited to attend this Mass. We

invite all of our parishioners who have lost a loved one to come and remember them in prayer at this special season before

Christmas. This Mass will be a Sunday Mass for the 2nd Sunday of Advent.

Please join your fellow parishioners as we commend into God’s loving arms those who have gone before us.

Refreshments will be offered in the Marian Parish Center Meeting Room after our celebration.
