Dia de los Muertos is a celebration of remembrance that originated in Mexico when indigenous Aztec religious practices were blended with the Spanish Catholic observance of All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days.
Our Eucharist will reflect a spirit of celebration and conclude our Hispanic Heritage Month with music in Spanish, an opportunity to honor our own loved ones, and refreshments afterward.
All are invited to join us for this special occasion.
