POINTS OF INTEREST:

    All Souls Day is a solemn feast in the Roman Catholic Church commemorating the faithfully departed.  Dating back to 988 A.D. the feast day was accepted in Rome in the 13th century.  Traditionally, in the Catholic faith, November is a month for visiting graves of those loved ones who have gone before us in faith.  For more information on the All Souls Day Mass, please contact the Office of Parish Life for the Diocese of Toledo at 419.467.6711.     ###
