PRAYING FOR THE SOULS IN PURGATORY

“The fire of Purgatory is the same as the fire of Hell; the difference between them is that the fire of Purgatory is not everlasting.”~ St. John Vianney

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Monthly Challenge:
“Pray, Offer, Remember”

This month, dedicate time each day to lift up the souls in Purgatory.
Here’s how you can participate:

  • Daily Prayer: Say one prayer each day for the Holy Souls. You could use:
    Eternal Rest Prayer: “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.”
  • Or a Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, or Mass intention for the Holy Souls.
  • Offer a Small Sacrifice: Offer a small act of penance or sacrifice (fasting, giving up a treat, extra work of charity) for the souls in Purgatory.
  • Remember in Action: Write down the names of deceased loved ones on a slip of paper and place it on your home altar or in a prayer basket at church. Intentionally pray for these souls each week.
  • Share the Love: Invite at least one friend or family member to join you in praying for the Holy Souls.

Spiritual Fruit: By participating, you help the souls in Purgatory reach Heaven sooner and grow in your own love and compassion for others, living the communion of saints in a very real way.

Join us this month in praying for all the Faithful Departed 

The Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed of our parish was celebrated on
Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 5:00 pm- All Souls Mass at Saint Mark Church.
Calling of names will begin @ 4:40 PM,
