The St. Bernadette Purgatorial Society is a pious association dedicated to assisting the poor souls in Purgatory. Under the patronage of our Lady of Lourdes a Mass is offered monthly along with any prayers and acts of charity (that you choose) for all the deceased enrolled in the St. Bernadette Purgatorial Society.
Once a month the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered at St. Bernadette Church for our deceased loved ones enrolled in the society registry.
Membership is open to everyone at no cost.
1. Submit the names of your deceased loved ones in the collection basket or church office on paper marked "Purgatorial Society".
You can also email your loved ones names to: stbre@comcast.net
Write "Purgatorial Society" in the subject line and your loved one will be permanently enrolled.
2. Offer at your personal discretion any prayers or acts of charity you choose for the souls in purgatory.
3. When you die you will be automatically enrolled in the registry of the purgatorial society. Please contact Kevin 815-494-0333 for additional information.
