Praying in catholic church as religion concept.

As we celebrate All Saints Day and pray for the faithful departed, Annie & I wanted to do something special for you and your family.

This is our gift for you: 

We are having a Mass offered for you on November 1st, All Saints Day, at 12:05 pm (central time) at St. John’s Catholic Chapel in Champaign, IL. This mass will be offered for your intentions, and also so that you may become a saint. 

Then, we are having another Mass offered for your deceased loved ones on November 2nd, All Souls Day, at 12:05 pm in the same chapel.

And lastly, we are having a Mass offered for all the deceased members of Pray More Novenas — those who have prayed with us at any point in the past and have since passed away. This Mass will be on November 3rd at 12:05 pm, again in the same chapel.

Frequently asked question:
“What does it mean to have a Mass “offered” for someone?”

Now please join us in praying these two prayers to celebrate All Saints Day and to remember all the poor souls in purgatory.

Prayer for All Saints Day
Dear God, thank you for the example of the Saints.
I desire to join in their company, worshiping you forever in Heaven.
Please help me follow their footsteps, and yours, Jesus Christ.
Please help me to conform myself to Your image, seeking Your will in all things, as the Saints did.
Please help me to devote myself, and all that I do, to Your glory, and to the service of my neighbors.
Amen.

Optional: The Litany of the Saints

Prayer for All Souls Day — the Prayer of St. Gertrude
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.
Amen.

  1. For the November 8 election, so the right President gets it that will please the Lord more — and may the one win that is better for the United States of America. The killing of the unborn is so terrible — God Help Us.

    For our three children and their spouses — may they live Life in ‘God’s Ways’, plus we pray they will be able to have children so they can be a nice happy family, with babies (more than one grandchild would be great!). And, for my husband, John, and I so our marriage grows stronger and more towards the light of our Lord. With some major decisions coming our way soon, that we may make the right choices.

    Lastly, with the sale of our insurance business to our two sons, may they continue with great success; and, may they be able to maintain and gain good hard working Team Members/Employees. Thank You!!

    * Just wanted to let you know as well, when I opened up your email this morning I burst into tears… in a good way… as a person who deeply believes in intercessory prayer I have heaps of lists of people I pray for each day. I don’t ask people to pray for me specifically although I know I have friends and family who keep me in their intentions. When I read that you are going to have a mass said for us, for us to become Saints – I felt this piercing of my heart which happens when I read scripture and hear God’s voice speaking directly to my heart – I knew that was God’s voice telling me that He is looking after me, covering me with prayer as well through the mass you are having said.
    I thank you from the depths of my soul… I know at the end of my life this mass will serve in my defense.

    With gratitude and prayer
