Our All Souls’ Day Mass was held in heartfelt remembrance, with many joining together to honour their loved ones. It was truly a moment to remember. 🕯

All Souls’ Day is a time to reflect, to pray, and to cherish the memory of those who live on in our hearts. At A.F. Raymond, this tradition of gathering in remembrance has been part of who we are for generations; a quiet reminder of love, faith, and togetherness.

Seeing so many come together in reflection and unity is what this day is truly about. We look forward to continuing this beautiful tradition next year, and we hope you’ll join us too.

A day to remember, reflect, and honour those who live on in our hearts.

Continuing this legacy, we introduced the Remembrance Wall, a space born out of modern times yet rooted deeply in timeless love and memory.

In a world where distance has redefined connection, the Remembrance Wall allows us to come together in spirit — to share, remember, and celebrate the lives of those who have passed.
