pray for all souls

As autumn unfolds and nature grows dormant, we are reminded of our own end and the memory of those we have lost. At St. Benedict’s Abbey, the monks take this season to offer prayers for all the faithful departed throughout November, especially on All Souls Day. 

For the monks, praying for your loved ones is an essential part of our vocation. Through our prayers, we seek God’s mercy and eternal rest for those who have gone before us. We believe that through prayer, we remain connected with our departed family members and friends, asking God to welcome them into His grace and peace.

We invite you to join us in this sacred tradition by submitting the names of your loved ones who have gone before us. Our monastic community will include them in our daily prayers and liturgies throughout the month, offering them up to God for His loving care.

Simply fill out the form below to submit your prayer requests, and trust that your loved ones will be remembered in the prayers of the Abbey.
