It is a tradition for the area Catholic Daughters to hold a Mass for their deceased members each November. Masses have been held in Lismore, Wilmont, and Adrian. The three courts join together in Unity and Charity and celebrate with one Mass, which was held at Our Lady of Good Counsel on Thursday, November 7th. Members from Court St. Bernard #886 of Lismore, Ct. Madonna #839, and Court Santa Maria #247 gathered to recite the names, remember, and pray for their sisters who have gone from this world. Refreshments were served following the service. Thanks to the Chaplain of the three courts, Fr. Richard Colletti, for celebrating this special Mass with the Catholic Daughters.
