Ven a conocer más sobre las almas del purgatorio y a conocer el por qué debemos orar por nuestros difuntos. 
Las ánimas del purgatorio (o benditas almas) son, según la doctrina de la Iglesia Católica, los espíritus de las personas que murieron en gracia y amistad con Dios, pero que aún tienen imperfecciones, culpas menores o deudas temporales por pecados ya perdonados que necesitan limpiar antes de entrar al Cielo.
¡Los esperamos!
 
Después del Rosario tendremos una noche de convivencia con padre Martín.
