Month of the Holy Souls in Purgatory
Traditionally, the month of November has been set aside by the Catholic Church as a special time to remember those who have gone before us into eternal life, the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Church celebrates the Feast of All Souls on November 2nd. Throughout the month we are encouraged to pray for our relatives and friends who have died and for those who have no one to pray for them. They are powerful intercessors for us and we can show our solidarity with them in the Body of Church by praying for them.

A new page has been added to this website - "Creative Catechists in the Classroom" - highlights the catechists are using creative ways to share the Catholic Faith with the students.
Also always look at the "Spotlight" page. It has pictures of the most recent Religious Ed/Family events. You might see someone you know!
