ST. PATRICK WOMEN’S ORGANIZATION

The St. Patrick Women’s Organization will be meeting

Wednesday, November 7th at 6:30 pm in the Parish Center.

All of the women in the parish are invited to attend.

It’s also time for the SEMI-ANNUAL BAKE-LESS BAKE SALE.

Women of the parish, your bake sale letter is on the table in

the back of the church with your name on it. Please pick

yours up today!

My dear parishioners, One of the beautiful mysteries of our Catholic faith is

the communion of the saints. This mystery of the communion of the

saints refers to the union of the faithful on earth, the holy souls

in purgatory, and the saints in Heaven with Christ Jesus as their

Head. It likewise refers to the common sharing of the members

of the Church in holy things, like prayer and the sacraments,

especially the Eucharist, by which believers are formed into the

one Body of Christ. All Souls’ Day (Nov. 2nd), which we cele-

brated on Friday, is the feast on which we remember and pray

for all the souls of the faithful departed who are now in purga-

tory, undergoing the final, spiritual purification needed to see

God “as he is” (1 Jn 3:2).

A particularly consoling truth of our Catholic faith is

that we are both aided by the prayers of the saints in Heaven

and able to aid the souls in purgatory by our own prayers. One

specific way in which we can aid these souls is by gaining for

them an indulgence, that is, the remission before God of the

temporal punishment due to sin. A plenary indulgence (the full

remission of the temporal punishment due to sin) can be gained

for the faithful departed by meeting the usual conditions and by

devoutly visiting a cemetery and praying, if only mentally, for

the departed on any and each day from Nov. 1st to Nov. 8th. The

usual conditions include being in a state of grace, having a com-

plete detachment from sin (even venial sin), going to sacramen-

tal confession, receiving Holy Communion, and praying for the

intentions of the Pope (by reciting an Our Father and a Hail

Mary). Sacramental confession, Holy Communion, and prayers

for the Pope’s intentions can be carried out within 20 days of

the indulgenced act (i.e., visiting a cemetery and praying for the

deceased). During this week and this month of November, let

us take some time to remember and pray for the holy souls in

purgatory. They will surely return the favor when they make it

to Heaven.
