All Souls Day Remembrance Envelopes
During the month of November we remember in prayer and liturgy those who have gone before us. In a special way, the priests of Our Lady of Mount Virgin remember the souls of our loved ones at Mass during the month of November. Please remember to complete your “All Souls Day” envelope and return it to the parish office, so that your loved ones are remembered. All envelopes will be placed by the Tabernacle to remind the worshipping community of our connection in faith to those who have gone home to the Lord. Additional “All Souls Day” envelopes can be found around the church. Please remember to continue to pray for the deceased of the parish during the month of November.
