Throughout November we remember and pray for the Souls in Purgatory. You are invited to record the names of your deceased loved ones in the remembrance book that is located at the front of the church, on the St. Joseph side. At each Mass in November (daily and Sunday), we will read the names and pray that those souls listed may be welcomed into eternal life in Heaven.
