All Souls

Date: Friday 1st November
Time: 7.00 pm
Venue: St Nicholas Arundel

This year we keep All Souls on Friday 1st November.

The observance of All Souls became universal through the influence of Odilo of Cluny, who in 998 commanded its annual celebration in the Benedictine houses under his care.

It's an opportunity for faithful Christians on earth to honour the faithful departed and hold them in love and prayer before God.

If you would like someone remembered by name at this year's All Souls' Requiem, please contact the parish office.
