If you have lost a child before or after birth – whether recently or long ago – please join us for a special Memorial Mass.  You will have the opportunity to record your child’s/grandchild’s name in a Book of Remembrance, to take home a silk rose in honor of him or her, and to pray together with others who have suffered the loss of a child.  All are welcome, including siblings, other family members, and friends.  English Masses will be held on Tuesday, October 10, at 5:30 p.m. at St. Thomas in Elkhart and on Friday, October 13, at 5:45 p.m. at St. John the Baptist in Fort Wayne.  Masses in Spanish will be held on Thursday, October 26, at 6:30 p.m. at St. Joseph Parish in Fort Wayne and on Friday, October 27, at 6 p.m. at St. Vincent in Elkhart.  For more information, visit diocesefwsb.org/avas-grace or contact Lisa Everett at 574-234-0687 or leverett@diocesefwsb.org.  Masses are sponsored by Marriage and Family Ministry of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.
