"So that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold, which, though perishable, is tested by fire..." (1 Peter 1:7) A commonly misunderstood teaching of the Church concerns Purgatory. Purgatory is not a second chance for damned souls to repent. Instead it is a state of cleansing and purification for souls destined for heaven. Also, Purgatory is not a means to earn our way to heaven, but a gift from God preparing us to see Him face to face. Even though not explicitly referred to by name, the Bible does allude to it, especially in terms of purging fire.
Your financial support makes it possible for us to continue our work of pastorally caring for the family.
The Missionaries of the Holy Family support vocations from a variety of backgrounds, and this follows our Founder’s vision. Discerning the call to religious life can be challenging, but we will work through the process with you. God wants all of us to be happy, and we are happiest when we are doing His will and following His plan for us. If that plan includes being a religious, you don’t want to miss that call to happiness!
