All Souls Day, Sunday, November 2, 3:00pm

On All Souls Day, St. Asaph’s will offer Gabriel Fauré’s beloved Requiem with choir, organ, and string quartet. Fauré’s Requiem is performed as a musical prayer and a profound spiritual experience during the liturgy, rather than just a concert. Many churches incorporate it into a Memorial Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. This practice provides solace and hope, as Fauré’s work is known for its tender, consoling qualities that depict a gentle passing into eternal peace. By incorporating Fauré’s Requiem into a liturgical service, it functions as a deep and sacred prayer rather than merely a performance.
