It's one of the very special weeks in the church's liturgical life.
Today is November 2, All Souls Day, the only day of the year when we celebrate the Eucharist at the Columbarium. We started this service a few years ago, and the numbers have grown steadily ever since. We specially remember everyone who was laid to rest from the Cathedral in the past year, along with other requested remembrances, and then read the rest of the plaques in the Columbarium. People are given an opportunity to light a candle in memory of their loved ones.
On Sunday, we will transfer All Saints Day from yesterday, with a celebration of Holy Baptism at the 10:30 service, and then close in the evening with Taizé Prayer.
