Announcement
The month of November is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
“All who die in God’s grace and friendship but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death, they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.” (CCC 1030)
Reflecting on the end time events, let us continue to pray during the month of November for all our departed brothers and sisters that also will be purified from their inequities and will shine in the presence of the Father. In a special way we thank and pray for the Lazurus committee that is serving at different sites of our parish, who served in organizing and helping the families at the funeral of their loved ones. May God bless them for their commitment and service.
