The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed

A special eucharist service of remembrance.

This solemn service offers a moment of reflection and prayer for all the faithful departed. Clergy and congregation gather to honour the memory of loved ones, seeking rest and peace for their souls through traditional prayers and hymns.

The service includes readings from scripture and the solemn intonation of the prayers for the dead, invoking God’s mercy. Attendees are invited to light candles in remembrance.

This annual Mass remains a significant occasion within the cathedral’s calendar, providing comfort and hope to those mourning and reaffirming faith in the promise of eternal life.

All are welcome

Brecon Cathedral will hold a Vigil for the Souls of the Departed on Monday 3rd November, at 6:00 pm. This solemn service offers a time for reflection, remembrance, and prayer for those who have passed.

The vigil provides an opportunity for families and individuals to come together in a quiet and contemplative atmosphere, lighting candles and sharing prayers to honour the memory of departed loved ones. Through scripture readings, hymns, and moments of silence, we acknowledge the profound loss experienced by many and offer comfort in faith.

All are welcome to attend this service of hope and remembrance, as we hold the souls of the departed in our prayers and entrust them to God’s eternal care. Those wishing to have the names of their loved ones read aloud during the vigil are invited to submit them to the Cathedral Office in advance.

All are welcome

Remembrance Sunday at Brecon Cathedral

Each year, Brecon Cathedral solemnly observes Remembrance Sunday, a day dedicated to honouring the men and women who have served and sacrificed in the Armed Forces. The service provides a moment of reflection for the community to come together, remember the fallen, and express gratitude for their courage and commitment.

All are welcome to attend this important occasion, as we pay tribute to those who have given so much for our freedom.

Remembrance Sunday at the Cathedral serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of conflict and the enduring hope for peace.
