In the Catholic faith, we are taught to always pray for the Holy Souls who may be in purgatory, but the month of November is traditionally set aside for this. I have to admit to not being raised with this understanding, so this is fairly new to me. A good place to begin if you are not familiar with this concept is this article at the Domestic-Church site.This year, from our Art 1 for Catholics by Seton Press, the boys put together this prayer card reminder to hang on the wall . Our family name will be written across the top.- (ex. Smith's Holy Souls List) Then those that our family wishes to remember will be written on the lines. It's a small thing, but it is a start to taking part in All Soul's Day and praying for our deceased loved ones throughout the year.
