Special Requiem Mass in Context
Join us for a profoundly moving experience on Monday November 3, at the Holy Rosary Cathedral, as we celebrate All Souls’ Day with a Traditional Latin Mass, featuring Mozart’s timeless Requiem. This sacred observance, known as the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, is a cornerstone of the Catholic liturgical calendar, dedicated to praying for the souls in Purgatory.
Immerse yourself in the reverent and contemplative atmosphere, where the priest faces the altar (ad orientem) and the Mass is beautifully conducted in Latin. The ethereal sounds of the Gregorian chants, and Mozart’s Requiem will envelop you, enhancing the solemn and meditative ambiance.
This special Mass includes heartfelt prayers, poignant readings, and a homily focused on themes of remembrance, repentance, and hope for eternal rest. As we “perform” Mozart’s Requiem, you’ll experience the powerful fusion of liturgy and music, creating an unforgettable tribute to those who have passed.
All Souls’ Day Mass is a poignant reminder of the Church’s spiritual connection with the departed, and an opportunity to join together in prayer and reflection. Don’t miss this unique and inspiring event, where we honour and remember our loved ones in a setting of unparalleled beauty and devotion. All are welcome an no tickets are required.
