17. Yes, I meant All Souls
Edited on Fri Sep-24-04 10:50 PM by Xipe Totec
I was rushing out the door as I was typing and messed up.

My Idea was for each parish where a soldier has died to hold a memorial service on all souls day, remembering the lives lost in Iraq over this war.

(On edit):

I should add that this could hold a special significance in Mexican-American communities where the Day of the Dead, "All Souls Day", is an important cultural event. Mexican-Americans are overwhelmingly Catholic. We want to raise their conciousness of the war dead as they head for the polling booths on November 2nd, especially in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, New York, and Illinois.
