BELMONT — St. Ann parishioners joined St. Ann’s parochial vicar, Father Brad Jones, in praying for the poor souls in purgatory at Belmont Abbey Cemetery Nov. 7.
The event, organized by the St. Ann Home School Ministry and Charlotte Latin Mass Community, is held annually to enable the faithful to obtain a plenary indulgence for the poor souls, which the Church grants for the entire month of November under specific conditions including visiting a cemetery and praying for the dead.
