Mass of Remembrance
On Saturday 13 November 2021 at 10am, the Mass of Remembrance was livestreamed once again from the Chapel due to COVID -19 restrictions.
Only those involved with the mass were allowed to attend, but over 270 people have watched the Mass online both at the time and afterwards via YouTube.
The Mass is still available to view on demand.
During the Mass, Alumnae Association Co-President Steph Quinn, acknowledged the challenges of the present moment and answered with a message of being present for each other.
The COVID - 19 pandemic and its impact on our ability to be physically present, to sit with, touch, hold, hug one another in sharing our tears, laughter, stories and tributes, has for many, exacerbated the sorrow, anguish, loneliness and grief often evoked by death. We have been challenged to find other ways to be
present and give solace, peace and hope to the dying and those whose lives they have touched.
In the spirit of Cor Unum let us be present for one another as we reflect upon and give thanks for those we remember and for whom we offer this Mass today.
At the Mass, there was a candle lit for each of the deceased RSCJ, alumnae and friends of Sacré Cœur.
