It's a cold, grey morning out there

At my parish, the only Mass on Saturday is in the evening for the Sunday obligation. Last month it was announced that every first Saturday of the month, there would be Mass at 9AM.

And what is today?

So I thought I'd go. There is also a plenary indulgence for All Saints and All Souls.

-SOULS IN PURGATORY-
November 1st-8th

A plenary indulgence can be gained on each day.
Requirements:
1. Mass and Communion- Pray for the Pope's intentions (1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary)
2. Visit a cemetery- Say a prayer for the departed
3. Confession- Two weeks before or after the date.
This would be a loving gift for a departed loved one.
