November: Month of the Holy Souls:- A reminder that November is the month of the Holy Souls, when we pray for our departed brothers and sisters in Purgatory (see:- What Does the Catholic Church Teach About Purgatory? | Catholic Answers Tract ). A note from the Diocesan directory reads ‘Pleanery indulgence (under the usual conditions) applicable to the dead for a visit to a church on 2nd November; another for each day a cemetery is visited 1-8 November.’
