PAREF Southcrest Chaplaincy

Gaining Indulgences for the Holy Souls in Purgatory 🕊️🕯️

This November, we have a special opportunity—encouraged by Pope Francis—to offer indulgences each day for the faithful departed. By visiting a cemetery or columbarium, receiving the Sacraments, praying for the Holy Father's intentions, and keeping a pure heart, we can assist the souls in purgatory on their journey to heaven.

Let us honor and remember our loved ones by practicing these acts with devotion.

This October, we joyfully celebrate St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. As St. Francis beautifully expressed, “All creatures are created from the same paternal heartbeat of God,” reminding us of the deep bond we share with all living beings.

We warmly invite you to bring your furry, feathered, or scaly companions to receive a special blessing.
