As part of this week’s St. Louis Review’s special supplement entitled Christian Hope, they have run a center spread feature which explains how Prayers for the Dead are essential to our Catholic faith.  The reason we are alerting you to this article is that the coverage includes a special interview by St. Louis Review

reporter Jennifer Brinker with Father Bede and photographs from the Oratory.  AND, to make this even more special, there is also an audio podcast you can listen to!  In it Father explores traditional Church teachings on Prayers for the Dead including the goodness of Purgatory and the Requiem Mass.

Be sure to open your St. Louis Review this week, listen to the Podcast and share with your friends and family!
