All Souls

November 2nd is when Catholics celebrate All Souls Day. We believe the dead are not gone, and from November 1st to November 8, we offer prayers and sacrifices for them: An offering to loosen the chains that bind the spirit to the failings of flesh, to speed their way through the fires of purgatory and into the gates of heaven. Here's a guide on to how to celebrate:
