Description

Christian communities remember the names of their dead. These names are heard in the Prayers of the Faithful during the liturgy and in the chanting of the litany of saints at the Easter Vigil; they are seen on holy cards, memorial cards, and grave markers; and Masses are prayed for the repose of souls.
Especially in the month of November are the dead remembered in prayer. This month is called the Month of All Souls. During this time, many churches have the custom of giving a place of honor to a book in which parishioners write the names of their dead.

This is such a book. It has been carefully prepared - in its dimensions, paper, binding, and art - to be both beautiful and worthy of its task. In most parishes, this one volume will be large enough to receive names over many years.
