Blessing of the graves

As churches in the Diocese of Baton Rouge commemorated All Saints' Day on Nov. 1 they honored and remembered the dead through the blessing of the graves. At St. Joseph Cemetery, a prayer service was held and Father Cary Bani, pastor of St. Joseph Cathedral in Baton Rouge, blessed the graves and visited and blessed individual graves at the request of the deceased’s loved ones.
