Purgatory and Praying for the Dead - 31st Sunday of OT - November 3rd, 2019

Can you believe it’s November already?  When we think about this month it wouldn’t be surprising if we think about the season of Fall, and the Thanksgiving holiday.  However, November for Catholics is a month dedicated to remembering the dead.  We honor our deceased and pray for them.  That might sound weird to some of us.  Why would we pray for the dead?  Well, because we love them and want them to enter Heaven.  Listen to my homily to learn more about purgatory and praying for the dead!
