Month of Remembrance: Life Is Changed, Not Ended 十一月追思亡者: 生命只是改變，並非毀滅

Every November is an important month for Catholics. It begins with All Saints’ Day on the first day, followed by All Souls’ Day. During the month of November, we are invited to slow down our pace and remember the deceased while contemplating the truth that ‘life is changed not an ended.” We cordially invite all fellow believers to gather together on the first Saturday of November (11/4) to remember the departed, reflect on the finite and eternal nature of life, and pay reverence to our ancestors.

每年的十一月為天主教徒是一個很重要的月份。它以諸聖節作為開始，即在月初的第一天，接著是追思亡者節。教會在這個月邀請我們放慢生活的腳步，追憶亡者，而讓我們有一個機會再次認真思考「死亡並非生命的毀滅」這道理。誠邀各位教友在十一月的第一個週六 (11/4)，聚首一堂，一起緬懷逝者，反思生命的有限及永恆，並向我們的祖先們獻上感謝及敬禮。
