Indulgences for the souls in purgatory: On November 1 in the afternoon and on November 2 all day, you can gain plenary indulgences for the souls in purgatory by visiting any church. The usual conditions for obtaining indulgences are the sacrament of reconciliation, Holy Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the pope, and while visiting the church, one should pray the Our Father and the Creed. From November 1 to 8, it is possible to gain indulgences by visiting the cemetery and praying for the deceased, even in spirit.

The Community of Man and Faith is looking for new photographers

The community of Christian photographers Man and Faith is looking for photographers for new challenges. Their task will be to document the life of the Church in and out of churches
and to evangelize through images. We aim for the personal development of photographers, offering training and consultations, exhibiting the best photographs, organizing spiritual renewals, and building new friendships. Your previous experience is not as crucial. It is important to have your own camera and a heart open to service. More information and contacts can be found at www.clovekavira.cz.

I wish you a peaceful November.

Gregory J. Žáček.
