Requiem Mass

A Requiem Mass is a special Catholic church service held to pray for the soul of someone who has died. It focuses on offering prayers and rituals to help the deceased find peace in the afterlife. The service typically includes readings, hymns, and the Eucharist (Holy Communion), emphasizing themes of remembrance, hope, and spiritual cleansing. It’s both a mourning ceremony and a spiritual act meant to support the departed on their journey and comfort the living. Requiem Masses are often held on anniversaries or significant dates related to the person's death.
