The month of November is dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory, whose feast is celebrated on November 2. With the exception of the last Sunday, November falls during the liturgical season known as Ordinary Time and is represented by the liturgical color green. The last Sunday, which marks the beginning of the Advent season, the liturgical color changes to purple, representing a time of penance.
The month of November is set aside to celebrate the accomplishments and faithfulness of Black Catholics from the very beginnings of the Church. For more information on National Black Catholic History Month visit: http://adw.org/black-catholic-history-month/
