The fragrance of Paradise...

which diffuses Itself
from the Tabernacle?"

 MEMORIAL DAY - 26 May 2025
Let us HONOR and REMEMBER
Eternal remembrance and gratitude for the innumerable, 
generous, courageous, self-sacrificing and heroic 
acts of service – seen and unseen.
We don't know them all, but we owe them all.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and the souls of all of the faithful departed 
through the mercy of God rest in peace. AMEN
