“The world is thy ship and not thy home,” St. Therese of Lisieux reminds, lest we forget that we are, naturally, always longing for “a country we have never yet visited,” (to borrow a phrase from C.S.Lewis), on this earthly journey. In St. Therese’s words, we hear an echo of Augustine: “You have made us for yourself, Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
A Few Words From Our Pastor
Our Lord knows of your grief at losing a loved one. He wants you to know that He is with you always, especially in these difficult days. His love is with you all... most especially with the one who has so recently come into His presence. We know how difficult these thoughts are to embrace. But, we also know that Christ shines a light into our lives that brings the hope and strength we need to endure, until our hoped for re-union with those that have gone before us.
We at All Souls are His earthly vessels, ready to support and assist you in any way we can, by God’s grace. Please allow us to offer our hands, and a shoulder, to help steady you as you walk with a heavy burden on this path. We will be praying for you, and providing the guidance you need to make important funerary and interment decisions. With heartfelt sympathy, please accept our deepest condolences, and may God’s peace and comfort be with you always.
Fr. David Vivero, Pastor of All Souls Catholic Parish
"I give thanks to my God at the very remembrance of you, praying always with joy in every prayer for all of you, because of your partnership for the Gospel from the very first day until now.”
Philippians 1:3-5
