November: Month of the Holy Souls
October 10, 2025
November is the month when we traditionally remember the Holy Souls in Purgatory, and particularly our deceased loved ones.Throughout November, we will have a Book of Remembrance in the church. Envelopes & paper will be available in the Narthex for Parishioners to write the names of deceased relatives & friends. These lists will be placed on a small table on the Sanctuary. Those who have died will be prayed for at Masses throughout the month of November.
