Students, staff and Marianists at St. Mary’s University prayed for the souls of their dearly departed at Casa Tuesday’s celebration of All Souls Day on Nov. 2.

Following Mexican tradition, a special altar was set up in the chapel with photos of loved ones who have died, candles, Mary’s flower (marigolds) and pan de muerto (bread of the dead). Dinner consisted of tacos, Mexican rice and colorful cookies, including a special skull-shaped cookie for El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).
