Octave of All Saints/All Souls 2026
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.
+ A special altar will once again be placed in the Narthex. Please bring a
photograph or other memento of your loved one to be displayed there from
October 25 through November 4.
+ Attend the Requiem Eucharist the All Saints Sunday Eucharist on November 2
and at 6:00 pm Wednesday November 5.

The names of all those buried from St. Stephen’s throughout the years as

Words of Wisdom:
"The thought manifests as the
word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the
habit hardens into character. So, watch the thought and its ways with care. And
let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings." ~Gautama
Buddha
