Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a holiday which focuses on gatherings of family and friends who pray for, celebrate, and remember those who have died.
Emmanuel Parish invites you to come and observe this holiday with a Remembrance Labyrinth Walk on Saturday, November 2. This walk is a way to remember those souls that we love, but no longer see. The labyrinth is open for walking day or night. Feel free to carry with you a memento or symbol representing those you wish to honor.
In addition, there will be a quiet, candlelit space inside the parish hall, 6:30 pm-7:30 pm for reflection. It is simply a place to sit for a few minutes or more, in remembrance of your loved one.
For more information, visit the Emmanuel Parish website.
