Honor Your Loved Ones with Prayer
All Souls Day invites us to remember those who shaped our lives with love. When you speak the name of someone who has died, you lift their story into sacred prayer. You honor their life. You keep their memory alive.
Your Gift of Remembrance
Your offering does more than honor the departed. Your gift today helps the Missionary Oblates provide pastoral care, form future priests, serve the poor and bring hope to communities that feel forgotten.
From November 2—10, your loved ones will be remembered in the All Souls Masses in three holy places:
- At a Chapel near Saint Peter Basilica in Rome
- Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto and Tepeyac de San Antonio in Texas
- The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, Illinois
The names of your loved ones will be displayed during our Novena Masses at both of our Marian devotional sites.
Visible Signs of Honoring Your Loved Ones
During the Mass, visible signs of love will accompany your prayers.
Rose to Remember
The roses will be displayed in the Church of Our Lady of the Snows and Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto y Tepeyac de San Antonio on November 2, All Souls Day
Perpetual Enrollment
This beautiful six-panel card features prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary and Our Lady of Lourdes.
Light a Candle
Having a Votive Candle lit is a beautiful form of prayer. The light from the candle is a powerful symbol of Christ, the Light of the World. You may have a Votive Candle lit for yourself, a loved one or a special intention.
Annual Enrollment
Annual Enrollments are a beautiful expression of faith, love, and enduring remembrance—an opportunity to entrust your loved ones to the care of a prayerful community throughout the year.
Special Remembrance—Two Oblate Priests
This year, we remember two Missionary Oblates whose lives touched many:
Father John Madigan, OMI
A faithful shepherd whose decades of service and pastoral care brought comfort and faith to countless lives—especially within the Shrine and benefactor community in Belleville.
Father Ken Hannon, OMI
A devoted teacher, theologian, and priest whose ministry formed generations of seminarians and enriched the Church through scholarship and pastoral care.
May the Lord grant them eternal rest.
