By Donal Anthony Foley, World Apostolate of Fatima U.S.A. - November is the month traditionally associated with the Holy Souls in purgatory. The feast day associated with them, the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed, “All Souls Day”… we are particularly encouraged to pray for our departed relatives and friends who are waiting patiently to enter heaven… Some people have tended to ignore or downplay purgatory, but when Our Lady appeared at Fatima she explicitly mentioned it during her very first apparition on May 13, 1917.
