NOVEMBER: month of prayer for the souls of the faithful departed, the Holy Souls. Participation
(attentive prayer) in the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the greatest act of faith and love
one can make for those who have died. As part of the Communion of the Saints they benefit from our
prayers and remembrance. Please take a November Remembrance (list and envelope) home with you.
Thank you to the many of you who have already returned their November List. Holy Mass is offered
each day during November for those whose names are included in the remembrance lists. Your
donation-enclosed is for the offering of such November Masses and is gratefully appreciated. AMcF
