Remembering in Love: An Evening of Prayer, Blessing, and Stories
Join us on Saturday, November 1 for a gentle, hope-filled gathering as we remember Sister Mary Lou, Sister Eleanor, Sister Sharon, and beloved Oblates Marlene Yarusso, Kathleen Lurhson, and Rita Guild. You are warmly invited to come, be present, and share the gift of memory with our community.
-
5:00 PM – Evening Prayer in the chapel
We’ll begin by placing our grief and gratitude before God, trusting the promise of resurrection and the communion of saints. -
5:30 PM – Blessing of the Cemetery & New Pavers
We will process to the cemetery for a simple blessing. Candles will be set upon headstones, a tender sign of light and remembrance for our beloved dead. -
Dinner & Sharing of Memories (immediately following)
After the blessing, we’ll gather for a meal—unhurried time to tell stories, speak names, and remember the ways our loved ones continue to shape us.
There is no cost to attend. Your presence is the gift. Whether you come with many words or simply to sit in the quiet, you belong here.
If you’re able, please RSVP so we can prepare a place for you at table. We look forward to welcoming you.
