Annual UP Month of Remembrance

October 27, 2017

Catholics believe in the Communion of Saints—the spiritual connection with those loved ones who have gone before us and the saints that lived as examples for us. Through the month of November we remember all of those who have gone before us in faith, especially our loved ones who have died.  

Campus Ministry invites the UP community to remember in prayer loved ones who have died. Starting Wednesday, October 24, stations will be available in many offices around campus where anyone is welcome to inscribe the names of loved ones on a card and place it in the accompanying basket. The cards will be placed near the altar in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher during Mass for All Saints Day on Wednesday, November 1, and they will continue to be a focus of prayer throughout November, the month of remembrance.

We will also celebrate Mass on Sunday, November 12, at 10:30 a.m. with special intentions for the loved ones of our UP community who have died in the past year.

For more information contact Rev. James Gallagher, C.S.C., Campus Ministry, at x8011 or gallaghe@up.edu.
