Hundreds remember loved ones on All Souls’ Day at nighttime Mass
DICKINSON – The cemetery sparkled in the twilight sun. Solar lights and electric candles flickered in the distance, spotlighting different markers as families visited their loved ones at Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery in Dickinson on All Souls’ Day, Nov. 2.
More than 300 people turned out for the nighttime Mass, with many carrying candles while bundled up to stay warm amidst the low 50s that chilled the evening. Father Larry Wilson, pastor of nearby Shrine of the True Cross Catholic Church, celebrated the Mass. Surrounded by dozens of candles, he encouraged the attendees to always keep their loved ones in prayer, especially at Masses.
