The Syracuse Purgatorian Society was established by Bishop Lucia in 2021 to assist suffering souls in Purgatory, through prayers and Masses offered for this intention. Members of the society commit to praying one Our Father, one Hail Mary, one Glory Be, and one Eternal Rest each day for the Holy Souls. In this way, we bring relief to these oft forgotten souls. Souls in purgatory are suffering in a very real way, and as Catholics we have an obligation to pray for them. The Council of Trent reminds us: "There is a Purgatory, and the souls there detained are helped by the suffrages of the faithful, but principally by the acceptable sacrifice of the altar" (Session XXV)
The Purgatorian Society offers 14 Requiem Masses throughout the year for these souls. Members of the society include the names of their family, friends, and loved ones to be remembered at these Masses. The Purgatorian Society also wishes to spread knowledge of this devotion, to encourage Catholics to pray and offer sacrifices for these poor souls. Will you join us in this effort?
May the divine assistance remain always with us.
And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Sign up and become a member of the Syracuse Diocese Purgatorian Society. The members join and support 14 Requiem Masses per year, pray for the dead, are remembered and prayed for by the society after thier death (Important!) and promote this important obligation to pray for the poor souls in purgatory.
