All Saints is a day of remembrance of persons who have preceded us in death. It is observed in many Christian traditions each year on or near November 1st. In observing All Saints Day we remember those who have died, whether from the distant past or from our own time. All Saints is a special time for remembering loved ones who, even though they have died, continue to have a positive influence upon us. It is meant to be a day of reverence and thanksgiving, and also a day that celebrates the unity of persons in all times through faith.

The University Chapel Service at on Thursday, November 1st, will be a special service of remembrance. Flowers will be placed at the altar in memory of persons whose names we receive from you. If you would like to remember someone from your life in this way, or lift up in memoriam a saint from recent times or ages past, please send names to be recognized to the address below. A list of names will accompany the flowers placed on the altar for the service. The flowers and list of names will remain on the altar throughout the day. You are invited to attend the chapel service as part of your remembrance or to come to the chapel at your convenience later in the day to remember these persons.
