Prepartion for November

All Souls Day and Month
The entire month of November is dedicated to the Poor Souls in Purgatory. Throughout the month, we offer additional prayers, penances, and sacrifices for all our deceased family and friends, and especially for all the forgotten Souls in Purgatory. To inaugurate this special month and to commemorate our dearly departed, we invite you to attend one of our Masses on All Souls Day: Saturday, Nov.2nd, at 10 a.m. in English in St. Philip Neri Church or at 1 p.m. in Spanish in Holy Name Church. During all four of our Sabbath Masses on Nov. 2nd and 3rd, we will also read the names of HN and SPN-BS parishioners who have died in both parishes and who had their services in our churches since last year All Souls Day, Nov. 2nd, 2023. We also invite any family members of parishioners who had their funeral services at HN or SPN churches since last Nov. 2nd to bring a framed, standing photo of their loved one and to place that photo on the designated table in Holy Name Church by the statue of St. Joseph or next to the corresponding name placard on the designated black tables in the sanctuary of St. Philip Neri Church. Families should collect their photos between Dec. 1 through Dec. 6th. The respective parish isn’t responsible for photos left after Dec. 6th.     Lastly, Memorial Books are located at the entrance of SPN Church and near the statue of St. Joseph in HN Church for you to write the names of any of your deceased loved ones. We will pray for them as a group in our petitions at all the Masses at both parishes throughout the month of November. May the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
