Everyone is invited to our Requiem Mass for All Souls’ Day, at which we will remember and celebrate the lives of all the beloved departed.

We will present the beautiful Requiem, Op.9, by Maurice Duruflé, one of the 20th century's most outstanding compositions, and his most acclaimed work. Based on the chant of the Latin Requiem Mass, a compositional practice which Duruflé helped to revive in modern times, Music Director Benjamin Bachmann will direct the version for organ, orchestra, and choir.

The church will be illuminated with candles, and votive candles will be available for individuals to light. You are invited to submit the names of loved ones to be held in remembrance and listed in the service sheet.

Please submit names via email to [email protected], in the offering plate, or by phone to the church office 510 834 4314, x501 by October 25.
