Commemoration of Deceased Clergy and Religious

On this day, the Church in southern Arabia remembers all the departed clergy and religious who have laboured in the vineyard of the Lord and worked for the spread of the Gospel in the Arabian Mission.

Liturgical colour: black (or violet)

Violet is the colour of penance, and black is (for most of us) the colour of mourning. One or the other is therefore used in Masses for the Dead and, in particular, on All Souls’ Day.
