Solemn Pontifical Requiem Mass for All Souls Day in Manhattan

For All Souls Day, November 2nd, there will be a Solemn Pontifical Requiem Mass at 6:30 PM at the Church of the Holy Innocents in Manhattan (37th St. and Broadway). His excellency, James C. Timlin, Bishop Emeritus of Scranton will celebrate the Mass from the Faldstool. The Rite of Absolution with catafalque will follow the Mass.

The schola will sing the Ordinary of the Mass from Victoria’s Requiem Mass setting and chant the Propers of the Mass (including the sequence, “Dies Irae”).

You may enroll the names of the faithful departed to be included in the intention of this Mass at the Parish Office of the Church of the Holy Innocents.

Please note that those who devoutly visit a church or an oratory on All Souls Day and recite there the Lord’s Prayer and the Creed may gain a plenary indulgence but only for a soul in purgatory. (Handbook on Indulgences, pg. 48).
