Monday is All Souls Day: Pray for your Dearly Departed; Pray for the Souls of Priests in this, the Year of the Priest

.
First, remember that you can gain indulgences on Monday, November 2, All Souls Day and the days following.

Second, 5 November is a first Thursday. You can gain a plenary indulgence during this year for Priests. It is not commonly known that you can apply plenary indulgences to the souls of those in Purgatory

Third, would it not be a good idea in this Year for Priests, during the week after All Souls, for this 1st Thursday, to pray in a special way for the souls of deceased priests?
Tip O' the Hat to Fr. Z!

    I got in with no trouble. Thank you Oh so much for that Echo Press story. I had the WCCO one from August already posted.

    It's a perfect story for All Soul's Day.
