Each year, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints on 11/1, a Holy Day of Obligation (root of the word “holiday”), and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, or All Souls, on 11/2. For the octave that begins November (11/1-11/8), plenary indulgences are available daily, applicable strictly for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. You are invited to devise a list of departed souls that you would like prayed for during this octave. This will be a corporate Mass Intention for the parish, and the list of these souls will remain at the altar throughout the octave, and largely throughout the month of November, which is dedicated to the Holy Souls. The recommended donation (to Father, not in the offering/tithe box) for a Mass Intention is $10, but I’ll never turn anyone away who is in need. Coordinate directly with Father (email or in person). — If the 1 Billion+ Catholics on planet earth were to each receive a plenary indulgence every day of the octave, mathematically, we would empty purgatory.
