Hope Beyond Loss – Salt and Light Media
When we remember our departed loved ones, we feel sadness, and that is human. Yet as Christians, as Catholics, we believe in hope. All month long, Salt + Light Media invites you to share in prayerful remembrance of your departed loved ones. Their names and your intentions will be included in a televised Mass for the Faithful Departed celebrated by Fr. Haig Chahinian, and will be remembered throughout the month of November. Together, we honour their memory, give thanks for their lives, and entrust them to God’s infinite mercy.
