All Souls Day/Annual Mass of Remembrance
On Saturday, November 2, 2019 at the 4:00 pm Mass, family and friends of our dearly beloved deceased of the past year (from November 1, 2018 thru October 31, 2019), are invited to participate in our Annual Mass of Remembrance here at St. Mary of Mount Virgin Church. Please call the office (732-545-5090) to ensure that your loved one’s name is included. We also ask that a family member bring a small framed photo (5 x 7 or smaller) of the deceased to Mass. Be sure that your name and phone number are listed on the back of the photo or you may bring your photo to the Parish Office before November 2nd. The names of the deceased will be announced at which time you may place the photo on the table at the side altar where it will remain throughout the month of November.
