Honor Your Loved Ones
on Our Ofrenda
We are appreciating one of the worldwide celebrations of Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day. In respect of other cultures, we created an Ofrenda (Altar or Offering). As part of Mexican culture, an Ofrenda is made for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and celebrated on All Saints and All Souls Day.
As a way of honoring and remembering those who have passed on before us, we invite you from now through November to the Ofrenda table at the bottom of the entrance ramp to add pictures or memorabilia of your loved ones as a celebration of their life. Beginning next week, we will include the book of the dead next to the Ofrenda for you to write in the names of your loved ones. As part of our tradition at Good Shepherd and the Catholic Church, we will pray for these and all those who have gone before us for the entire month of November.
