This weekend marks the Solemnities of All Saints (Sunday November 1) and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (Monday November 2).  
That the Lord came to save all of us common labourers is what the feast of All Saints is about. 

The Commemoration of the Faithful Departed helps us to remember those souls who have left us, on their journey to the fullness of life ( Benedict XVI Angelus address, 2011). 

This year, remembrance services are limited due to ongoing restrictions.  
Pope Francis will be offering a private Mass at a Vatican cemetery.
Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish will be offering a private memorial service, praying over the names in the parish Book of Remembrance to be published with the bulletin next week.  
Bishop Riesbeck will offer a Requiem Mass for the Faithful Departed and for coronavirus victims at the Cathedral on Monday November 2 at 7PM ( pre-registration is required). 

Pope Francis has extended the Plenary Indulgence for the deceased in the month of November, for any devoutly visiting a cemetery or church and reciting the Our Father and the Creed.

Parishioners are also invited to learn more about All Saints and All Souls through our free parish subscription to Formed.org .
