Our All Souls Requiem Mass (also known as The Commemoration of All Faithful Departed) is a liturgy set aside to remember all our departed loved ones whose lives deeply touched our own. The St. John’s Choir and Choristers will offer a transcendent musical setting of Duruflé’s Requiem to accompany this service. Come hear one of the most powerful choral works of the 20th century, offered in its original context: a worship service on All Souls’ Day. Duruflé’s Requiem is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sacred compositions of the 20th century. Drawing deeply on the ancient melodies of Gregorian chant, the work weaves together timeless tradition with rich harmonic colors, offering a sense of both consolation and transcendence. Heard in the setting of a liturgy, the music finds its fullest expression, enfolding worshippers in prayer and reflection. You may submit the names of your loved ones to be prayed for during the All Souls Requiem Mass using the cards in the pews. The service will begin at 4:00 PM in the church, followed by a soup supper in Alfriend Hall. We encourage everyone to join us and stay for fellowship afterwards. (A $10 donation is suggested.)
