Corrections
The Oct. 31 edition of The Miscellany contained an error in the All Souls’ Day photo cutline on page 12. All Souls’ Day, Nov. 2, is not a holy day of obligation, All Saints’ Day on Nov. 1 is. When All Saints’ Day falls on a Saturday or a Monday, the requirement to attend Mass that day is temporarily waived. Sunday obligation remains. Also, the page 2 listing for the Homes for the Holidays tour contained an error. St. Peter Church on Carteret Street is not called Chapel of the Holy Cross.
