Novena for the Holy Souls in Purgatory
- Join Us in Prayer! -
The Knights of Columbus, Holliston Council 14224, cordially invites you to participate in a Novena for the Holy Souls
in Purgatory.
Praying for the holy souls in Purgatory is rooted in sacred scripture (2 Maccabees 12: 42-46) and The Catechism of the
Catholic Church (CCC 1030-1032).
As Knights, we are members of the "Church Militant", and have a duty to pray for the "Church Suffering" in Purgatory
especially since they cannot pray for themselves. Our prayers also reinforce our first principle of Charity. It provides
us with the opportunity to focus on others before ourselves including aiding souls of ALL faiths who reside in Purgatory.
These prayers of supplication not only help all these souls but provides a building block to increase our own personal
faith formation as Knights of Columbus.
While this Novena can be said anytime during the year, it fits best into the Liturgical calendar from Tuesday, October 25
through Wednesday, November 2, the Feast of All Souls.
Vivat Jesus!
