November is the month of the Holy Souls, a special time when we remember those who have gone before us. The Light Up a Memory Mass is a beautiful celebration of the lives of our dearly departed, as we join together to pray by candlelight in an evening of reflection and remembrance.
“This is an opportunity to remember those who are no longer with us with fondness and affection,” says Fr Michael O’Connell MSC, director of the MSC Missions Office. “During the dark winter days, a light is unique gift, and each of these lights is a beacon of remembrance in honour of the loved ones who are always in our thoughts.”
On the evening of the Mass, the Sacred Heart Church is illuminated by the glow of hundreds of candles, with choral music adding to the peaceful and prayerful ambience. We come together to pray by the welcoming glow of candlelight in an evening of reflection and remembrance, with each flame burning brightly in memory of those whom we have lost.
We would like to extend an invitation to you to join us on Saturday 25th November at 6.30pm to remember our departed family, friends, and loved ones who have gone before us.
The Light up a Memory Mass is a very special occasion and we would like to offer you the opportunity to  submit the names of your departed loved ones online before the 25th and our MSC priests will remember them specially during our Light Up a Memory Mass. We would greatly appreciate your support for our ongoing mission projects, and in gratitude for your contribution, we will be glad to remember your intentions at our annual Mass.
If you are unable to join us on the night we welcome you to watch the Light Up a Memory Mass live here on our website.
