Remember Our Departed Bishops, Priests, & Deacons

5 Nov

“A life well lived is a life never forgotten.”  ~ Unknown

This morning, the clergy of the Diocese of Gary will meet at Holy Angels Cathedral for our annual Mass to remember the deceased bishops, priests, and deacons of the diocese.  This takes place each year at the beginning of November after All Souls Day.

The life of someone who dedicates himself to service in the Church is not always an easy one.  People do not realize all the responsibilities that come with that decision.  Please pray for all of those who have served the faithful of the diocese throughout the years.

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

FAITH ACTION:  As you pray for the deceased clergy of the diocese, please pray, as well, for those who presently serve the faithful of the diocese.
