As we come to another celebration of All Hallows Eve, to prepare for the celebration of All Saints and All Souls Day, Holy Mother Church in her wisdom and God given grace is giving us the ability to commemorate the souls who passed on before us and could be in Purgatory, undergoing purification of their temporal punishments before entering heaven.
