In November, We Remember
The month of November is dedicated to prayer for the souls of the faithful departed. Visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead is a powerful act of mercy and hope, and the Church offers a special indulgence for those who do so. Come and pray with us as we remember those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith.
