All Souls' Day Mass

Dear Members of the Abbey Community,

On Monday, Nov. 2, the Church celebrates the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls' Day). In the past, we've come together during the first week of November for a special all-school Mass to pray for members of our community who have passed away during the previous year. While we can't do that quite the same way as we usually do, we still wanted to take the time to pray for our loved ones who have gone to be with the Lord. 

At 11 a.m. on Monday, our freshman and sophomore students will gather for their regular school Mass, which will be livestreamed on this page. A list of those for whom the Mass will be said is also provided below. Please join us in prayer for these friends and loved ones and for their families, and know that you and your families are, as always, in the prayers of our monastic community.

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Yours sincerely in the Lord,
