Remember Your Loved Ones in Prayer This November
The Church dedicates the month of November to remembering the faithful departed and entrusting them to the mercy and love of Jesus Christ. At Saint John’s Seminary, we continue this tradition by praying for those who have gone before us, asking the Lord to grant them eternal rest.
We invite you to submit the names of your loved ones to be included in our Book of Remembrance, which will be placed in the seminary chapel throughout November. Our seminary community will remember them in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours, and daily Eucharistic Adoration.
As our seminarians prepare for the priesthood, prayer is at the heart of their formation. Remembering the faithful departed is one way our community lives out the Church’s call to pray for one another and to entrust every soul to God’s loving care.
Submit the names of your loved ones using the form below. We will hold them in prayer throughout the Month of Remembrance.
If you wish, you may also make a gift to Saint John’s Seminary in memory of a loved one. Your generosity helps form the next generation of priests, preparing them to celebrate the sacraments, proclaim the Gospel, and accompany the faithful through every season of life.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
