Helpers of the Holy Souls

Mission

Helpers of the Holy Souls is inspired by Blessed Mary of Providence and the original mission of the Order she founded in 1856, Society of Helpers of the Holy Souls, now known as Society of Helpers.

Our mission, one of mercy, is to relieve and gain release for the suffering souls in purgatory who can no longer help themselves. We do this by holding monthly collections used solely to have Masses said for the Holy Souls. We also fulfill our mission by holding a Holy Hour for the Holy Souls every Tuesday night immediately following the 7:00pm Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at the Fatima Shrine Chapel on Route 126 in Holliston, MA. All are welcome.

We share our mission by distributing complimentary Prayer Packs (used at our Holy Hour or privately at one’s convenience) to patrons of the Holy Souls. These Our Lady, Queen of Purgatory

Prayer Packs are a gift of the Apostolate and no Mass money collected goes toward their cost. All funds collected are used to place Masses for the Holy Souls. We aim to have Masses, said by selected Priests, every day of the year for the Holy souls. The Patron Saint of our Apostolate is Saint Nicholas of Tolentino; known as one of the great apostles of the souls in Purgatory. His feast day is September 10th.

Of course, we place all the efforts of our Apostolate into the Immaculate hands of OurBlessed Mother.
