Father Chris Alar, MIC, traces its background, noting that it reflects the spiritual journey of every believer, inviting us to offer ourselves fully to God.

Father Chris explains Purgatory, and how we can help our loved ones achieve the purification necessary to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.Especially on All Souls Day and during the month of November, we honor our faithful departed.
