November Requiem Mass at St. Andrew's Church

As we begin November let us remember to pray for the Faithful Departed this month. November is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Souls and it was a custom to have Requiem Masses said throughout the month. On Saturday, November 6, St. Andrew's Lithuanian National Parish had a Requiem Sung Mass for the faithful departed of the parish. The celebrant was Fr. Robert Pasley of Mater Ecclesiæ Mission in Berlin, New Jersey. The minor propers of the Mass were sung by the pastor of St. Andrew's Church, Fr. Peter Burkauskas.
