Month of Holy Souls

November is dedicated by the Church to the Holy Souls in Purgatory—those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, yet still undergoing purification before entering the fullness of Heaven. Throughout this month, the Church invites us to renew our prayers and sacrifices for the faithful departed, trusting in God’s mercy and love. Offering Masses, praying the Rosary, visiting cemeteries, and performing acts of charity are all beautiful ways to assist the souls on their journey to the Beatific Vision.

Tradition holds that Our Lord revealed to St. Gertrude the Great that this prayer would release 1000 souls from Purgatory each time it is devoutly recited: Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, for those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

During this month of remembrance, may our prayers bring comfort to the souls  awaiting the vision of God’s glory, and may we grow in hope of the eternal life promised to all who love Him.

🎅 A Special Visit from Santa

The guest of honor—St. Nick himself—will be making a joyful appearance! Children can greet Santa, share their Christmas wishes, and snap a photo to capture the moment. His sleigh may be waiting outside, but he’s staying long enough to spread plenty of cheer!

Immaculate Conception

Monday, December 8th

The Church joyfully celebrates the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on December 8, a holy day of obligation for Catholics. On this feast, we honor the wondrous truth that Mary, by a singular grace of God and in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, was preserved from all stain of original sin from the first moment of her existence. Chosen to be the Mother of the Savior, she was prepared by God Himself to be a pure and fitting dwelling for His Son.

This solemnity invites us to contemplate the beauty of God’s saving plan  and the dignity to which we are called. Mary’s Immaculate Heart shines as a model of holiness, humility, and complete openness to God’s will. As we gather to celebrate this feast, we ask her intercession that we too may grow in purity of heart and deeper love for her Son.

In honoring Mary’s Immaculate Conception, we see the extraordinary mercy of God, who lovingly prepared the way for our redemption. Mary’s “yes” to God reverses the disobedience of the first Eve and opens the path to salvation in Christ. Her life reminds us that God’s grace can transform us and strengthen us in virtue.

May this holy day renew our devotion to Our Lady and inspire us to imitate her steadfast faith and joyful trust in God’s plan. All are warmly invited to celebrate this great feast with our parish family as we honor Our Lady and give thanks for the grace of salvation won for us by her Son.
