Pray for the Faithful Departed on All Souls' Day!
Pray for the Faithful Departed on All Souls' Day!
On Nov. 2 of each year, The Catholic Church observes the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, otherwise better known as All Souls' Day. It is on this day that we honor those who have passed on from this life, as we pray that they may be purified before entering into the Kingdom of Heaven! So today, be sure to offer up your prayers for your own departed loved ones, as well as the souls suffering in Purgatory!
Send us the names of your deceased loved ones and they will share in the graces of the Masses offered at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy: click here.

Then be inspired by the testimony of a mother who lost her beloved son to suicide, and how, even in the midst of darkness and despair, she found hope and healing in God's loving mercy.
