CANCELED: Praying our Goodbyes - Nov. 5

Update: Praying our Goodbyes has been canceled for 2023. Look for it to return in 2024.

Remembering Those We Love But See No Longer

Join us in person on Sunday, Nov. 5 at 4:00 p.m. for Praying Our Goodbyes.

In addition to our normal solemn Sunday morning worship when we celebrate All Saints Day, on November 7 you will have the opportunity to experience a worship service of potent emotional impact, Saint Michael and All Angels’ completely unique Praying Our Goodbyes, in honor of All Souls Day. Originated by parishioner Norris Battin, this service that takes place at sunset has grown in popularity.

For those who have attended this before, you’re probably anticipating this worship. The soaring music, the candles representing departed souls, the naming of the dead while prayerfully marching to the Memorial Garden: Praying Our Goodbyes is one of the most profound spiritual experiences offered at Saint Michael and All Angels.
