This morning, at Holy Angels Cathedral in Gary, Bishop Melczek, priests, and deacons will gather to pray for the deceased bishops, priests and deacons who have served the faithful in the Diocese of Gary.
We do this every year near All Souls Day.
As we have pray for our departed brethren, I ask you to say a prayer for the repose of their souls as well. May God bless them with eternal peace and joy.
