Memorial Mass
to remember
all deceased priests, deacons, wives
The Diocesan Deacon community will host its first annual
All Clergy and Deacon Wives Memorial Mass at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 8 at St
Lawrence O’Toole/St. Cyril Church in Oakland. Bishop Allen Vigneron
will preside. The liturgy is open to the public.
The Mass will honor the lives of deceased priests, deacons and the wives
of deacons of the Oakland Diocese, especially those who have died within
the past year.
Traditionally, the deacon community has paid tribute to them in an annual
memorial service that was open only to the deacon community.
This year, however, the community, in a spirit of solidarity with priests
and the diocesan faithful, decided to include all deceased clergy.
St. Lawrence O’Toole-St. Cyril Church is located at 3725 High Street
near MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland.
