For our faithful departed

"The Church does not pray for saints as she does for the dead, who sleep in the Lord, but she commends herself to the prayers of those who pray for them," said St. Augustine in a Sermon. Once a year, at least, Christians, we wonder about the meaning of our life and that of our death and resurrection. It is the day of the commemoration of all the faithful departed.

It marks a significant day too in the life of our Society. On September 29th, 1992, Fr Michael Adrie was ordained an SMA missionary priest. That makes twenty-five years of missionary service in the Society. We rejoice with Michael and congratulate him on reaching the Silver Jubilee of priesthood.
