Dia de los Muertos - Oxnard

Due to Covid-19 concerns, this year's Dia de los Muertos celebrations will be Virtual. Community members are invited to join us for our LiveStream Prayer Vigil at 7 p.m. on November 1, 2021. This service will be streamed from Calvary Cemetery Los Angeles. In addition, Santa Clara Cemetery in Oxnard will host four community groups who have been invited to create community altars. These altars will be on public display through November 5, 2021. Dia de los Muertos, or “Day of the Dead,” celebrates the feasts of All Souls Day and All Saints Day. The celebration is an expression of Latin American culture and Catholic beliefs, which makes use of some familiar symbols to teach and celebrate the Church’s teaching on the communion of the saints and the souls in purgatory.
