November 1 2009  - All Saints Day

Fr. Mark's Weekly Homily

Feast of All Souls....Every year the Church celebrates the feast of All Souls. We recognize that the temporal punishment due to confessed and forgiven sin, still warrants purification of the SOUL. This means that the average purification for us after we die, would be like 40 years here on Earth. That is a very long time to be waiting our entrance into Heaven. Poor Souls cannot pray for themselves. Like someone in ICU, the care must come from others. Please pray for your deceased relatives and friends. Offer your sacrifices, your Rosaries, your Holy Communions, and have masses offered for the dead. Don't forget the poor and forgotten SOULS that have no one to pray for them. Each and every soul we free from Purgatory, will be interceding for us after we die. If you don't believe in Purgatory right now, you will when you arrive there.

Adult Classes.... Adult Ed Class are Thursday, Nov 5 & 12. Topic will be "What a Catholic Believes". If you are interest, come join us at St. James Catholic Church Hall.
