ALL SOULS’ – MONTH OF NOVEMBER
The names of our loved ones, which are listed on All Souls’ envelopes will be remembered during the month of November. The month of November is traditionally a time for visiting graves of loved ones as in the anniversary of death. To show the love of our deceased is the gift of prayer and gain the plenary indulgence of them. During this time, we have an opportunity to apply our indulgence to Souls’ in Purgatory. During the month of November, we remember all those who have died or have been buried in our Mt. Calvary cemetery since November 2025.
We remember the following in our prayers:
