Mass for Suicide Healing and Remembrance

Location: St. Ambrose Cathedral, 607 High St, Des Moines, IA 50309

On Monday, September 21 at 6:15 pm, the St. Ambrose Cathedral parish community will remember those who have been lost to suicide.  If you have a loved one whose life has been taken due to suicide, we invite you to this special Mass and to light a candle in their honor.  There will be a basket of candles on a table near the altar.  Before the offertory those who have lost a loved one to suicide are invited to come forward and light a candle in their memory. 

Submit your loved ones name to be remembered before September 14th.  Names of loved ones will be remembered in a candle ceremony and prayer list in the worship aid.   You can submit your loved ones name using the registration form.
