All Souls Requiem In November, as the light dims and the leaves fall from the trees, the church's calendar echoes the natural world as we too mark the cycle of life and death and keep times of remembrance. On this Feast of All Souls we give thanks to God for the lives of our families and friends and all who have died. We ask God to continue to keep them in his infinite love and care, and to make them and us ready for the joys of heaven.
