LIVING OUR FAITH

November is the Month of the Holy Souls in Purgatory

November is a special time in the Catholic Church dedicated to praying for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory. This month starts with All Saints Day (11/1) and is followed by All Souls Day (11/2). There are several ways to make this a family offering this month. Through our prayers & sacrifices, we practice the Spiritual Work of Mercy of praying for the living & the dead.
