ALL SOULS DAY


We remembered our loved ones, and the loved ones of our benefactors and alumnae, both at the celebration of the Mass of All Saints and on All Souls Day, as we gathered as one sacred community in prayer.  

                                                                                                 
           If roses grow in heaven,
      Lord please pick a bunch for us,
Place them in our loved ones’ arms,
And tell them they’re from us.
Tell them that we love them
and miss them,
And when they turn to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheek,
              And hold them for quite awhile.
 We remember our loved ones every day.
          Let them know they will never really be away.



The Book of Life travels between St. Walburga Monastery and Benedictine Academy.  Our prayers are joined together as one family.
