Why an All Souls Mass? Though the souls in purgatory are assured of their salvation, according to both St. Augustine and St. Gregory and others, the pain of purgatory is more intolerable than anything a person can suffer in this life. However prayers, alms, works of piety, and especially the Mass can be offered for the assistance of those being purified.
Details: All those planning to be in attendance at the 7 PM All Souls Mass are invited to submit the names of up to four deceased souls for which the Mass will be offered. Father Mayer will be using traditional black vestments at this Mass. Pleaser RSVP office@stjamescc.org so that we can setup the appropriate number of chairs. The Mass will be hosted at the home of Dan and Chris Lucas: 12069 Dividing Oaks Trail Jacksonville.
