Those who will visit a graveyard and pray for the faithful departed during the month of November can receive a plenary indulgence for the departed under the general conditions. In order to obtain it, the faithful must, in addition to being in the state of grace: have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin; have sacramentally confessed their sins; receive the Holy Eucharist; pray for the intentions of the Pope.

We request that everyone present in the church will wear a face mask during all Masses and events. A priest will give the Holy Communion first to those wishing to receive it in the hand, and only after that to those receiving on the tongue.

It is still required to make an online reservation of a place in the church at the Mass. There is a link on the website of our parish “Registration for the Mass” where parishioners can choose the time of the Mass and the amount of places. The confirmation of the reservation will be checked in the church if needed.

We congratulate all fathers today and ask God’s blessing  and the intercession of St. Joseph for them.
