The Catholic parish of Whanganui – Te Parihi Katorika Ki Whanganui celebrated its annual memorial Mass at St Mary’s Church, on Thursday evening, 7 November, to pray for those parishioners who had died during the year.
Family members of loved ones who had passed were personally invited to gather for Eucharist. When their name was read aloud, the family approached the table and lit a candle in memory of their loved one.
Organisers Anne and Kevin Foley thoughtfully prepared the liturgy respecting the sadness of all who still grieve.
Supper was served afterwards.
