Holyday of Obligation alert!
This Thursday, 1st November, is a Holyday of Obligation, when all Catholics are bound to attend Mass. There will an Old Rite Mass at Christ the King at 7:30pm. We are extremely lucky in that there will also be an Old Rite Mass for All Souls at 10am on 2nd November.
We also get the chance to release 8 (eight) souls from Purgatory!
From November 1-8, a plenary indulgence is granted for the souls in purgatory if you visit a cemetery and say a prayer.
On All Souls Day a plenary indulgence is granted for the souls in purgatory if you visit a church and recite one Our Father and the Creed.
For the indulgences to be plenary, the following conditions must be met:
This is a good explanation of indulgences:
