November is tradionally refered to as the "Month of the Holy Souls". During the month of November we pray at every mass for all deceased parishioners, relatives, and friends. You are invited this year, to write the names of all your deceased relatives and friends on the purple Book of Remembrance forms and return them as soon as possible so that we can compile a Book of Remembrance that will be placed in the Church during the month of November. With the purple Book of Remembrance forms are the special November Dead List envelopes. Any money given in these envelopes will be used to offer Masses for the Holy Souls.

A Plenary Indulgence, applicable only to the Holy Souls, may be gained once in any church either on All Soul's Day, on the preceding or following Sunday or on the Feast of All Saints (on the usual conditions, viz: a visit to a church, where the Our Father and Creed are recited, Sacramental Confession, Holy Communion and prayer for the Holy Father's intention).

Those who visit a cemetery between 1st and 8th November and pray for the faithful departed, may obtain a Plenary Indulgence, applicable to the Holy Souls (and at other times a Partial Indulgence).

The Church commends such Spiritual Practices to all the faithful as both effective in the work of the Salvation of Souls and edifying to the individual.
