MONTH OF NOVEMBER
November is traditionally a time to remember the faithful departed and to pray for their eternal repose. Parishioners are invited to observe the month of the Poor Souls in the following ways:
Tuesday November 2
is the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, properly known as All Souls Day. A Solemn Requiem Mass will be celebrated at 7:00 pm to pray for deceased members, relatives, and benefactors of St. John Vianney Parish, especially those who have died in the past year.
November 2 – 9
The faithful who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray for the departed from 1 to 8 November, may gain a plenary indulgence for the souls in purgatory under the usual conditions of sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer for the Holy Father (at least one Our Father and Hail Mary)
Parishioners are welcome to inscribe the names of their departed loved ones in the Parish Book of Life which can be found in the foyer near the front entrance throughout the year. The faithful departed whose names are listed will be remembered in the general intercessions at the Sunday Masses in November. Please note that names recorded in previous years need not be repeated.
