In Memoriam

Each month, Saint Philip’s honors the memory of parishioners who died in the prior month and in the same month one year ago. At 5:15pm on Wednesday, February 1, we will remember before God those who died this February, as well as those who died in February one year ago. Of your mercy, pray for their repose.

A Prayer for All the Faithful Departed
O God, the King of saints, we praise and glorify your holy Name for all your servants who have finished their course in your faith and fear: for the blessed Virgin Mary; for the holy patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs; and for all your other righteous servants, known to us and unknown; and we pray that, encouraged by their examples, aided by their prayers, and strengthened by their fellowship, we also may be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; through the merits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

-The Book of Common Prayer, The Burial of the Dead Rite II (pg. 504)
