Again go to their website to sign up and pay to be a member in 2023-2024!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 13 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.
PARISH PURGATORY CRUSADE
As we enter the month of Holy Souls, we are embarking on an effort to keep the departed family and friends of our parishioners in our prayers throughout the liturgical year. The Transfiguration Purgatory Crusade will be a way to have your departed remembered in Requiem Masses throughout the year, beginning on November 1, 2023 until Oct 31, 2024. You will find large white Holy Souls envelopes available for you to enroll your departed family and friends in the vestibule starting on All Souls day. You can include as many souls on the envelopes as you wish and you may include a donation of any amount in the envelope as you wish. Please write your name as the enrollment sponsor and your email address and we will send you the Novena of the Holy Souls which can be offered as offered by you and your family as often as you wish throughout the year. Your enrollment envelope will remain on the altar all year and those souls will be remembered during the Purgatory Crusade Masses throughout the year.
