The “Requiem for the Forgotten” is a contemporary Requiem that was composed by Frank La Rocca to pray for the repose of the souls of people who were forgotten in life – the homeless, the marginalized and refugees.  It also includes “A Hymn for Ukraine”.

The “Requiem for the Forgotten” will be performed as part of a solemn Requiem Mass at Saint Martin of Tours Church (3720 St. Martin’s Place) on November 2, All Souls Day, at 7:00 p.m., that will be celebrated by Father Matt Robben.  

“Ensemble Con Fuoco“ will be joined by singers from the five choirs of the Family of the Most Holy Eucharist to perform it at the Requiem Mass.  At both performances, they will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra and organ.  All of them will be conducted by Dr. David Castillo, the Director of Liturgical Music at the Family.
