From Samhain, to Día de los Muertos in Mexico, to Kalag-Kalag in the Philippines, cultures around the world mark this time of year as a sacred threshold to honor and reconnect with our ancestors. Join us for a special remembrance service as we celebrate the lives of those who came before us, and honor their continuing presence through a communal ancestor ritual. All are invited to bring a photograph or small memento of someone they wish to remember for our special ancestor ritual.
