Annual Memorial Mass for deceased clergy; Memorial concert on Cemetery Sunday

Sunday, November 6, 2022 is Cemetery Sunday, a day to remember our beloved deceased. Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark invites you to celebrate your faith in eternal life by visiting one of its cemeteries in a spirit of faith, prayer and remembrance. Catholic cemeteries are fitting places to visit – to pray, to remember, to grieve, to heal, and to console one another, and to give thanks for Jesus’ promise of eternal life, which is at the heart of our Catholic faith.

All are invited to A Memorial Concert in Honor of the Faithfully Departed on Sunday, November 6 at 3 p.m. in the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark.This concert, which will feature Requiem by Maurice Duruflé (with the Cathedral Choir, Soloists, Orchestra, John Miller as the Conductor, and Kristin Dabaghian as the Organist), is intended to provide comfort and consolation for all who have lost a loved one. Anita Foley will present a pre-concert lecture “The Future Does Have a Name, and Its Name is Hope” at 2:20 p.m. in the Cathedral.

Upon entering the Cathedral Basilica guests are invited to inscribe the names of their beloved deceased in a Book of Remembrance.

The concert is open to the public and tickets are not required. A free-will offering will be received.
