All Saints Octave

Once again this year at St. Stephen’s we will devote an entire week to celebrate the saints in our lives. In preparation for the Feast of All Saints (which is one of the most important feast days in our Church year), we will be remembering all of the saints in our lives (those whom we have loved and who have shown us something of who God is). We will be offering several opportunities at St. Stephen’s to honor those who have passed on before us to the larger Communion of Saints.

+ Beginning before the week of October 26th, a list will be placed in the Narthex for you to write the names of your deceased loved ones so they may be remembered at the special Requiem Mass we will celebrate on Wednesday November 5. You can also send any names to Fr. Jamie at frjamieparsley@gmail.com and he will make sure that their names placed on the altar on All Saints Sunday and that they are remembered by name at the Requiem Eucharist.

+ Attend the Requiem Eucharist the All Saints Sunday Eucharist on November 2 and
at 6:00 pm Wednesday November 5.

Sunday, November 2- All Saints Sunday
11:00 am – Holy Eucharist

Wednesday, November 5- 6:00 pm – Requiem Eucharist for all our deceased loved ones
The names of all those buried from St. Stephen’s throughout the years as well as those written on the list in the Narthex will be read.
Incense will be offered at this Eucharist.

At the end of the service, we will process to the Memorial Garden for the Blessing of graves.
