In this issue of the Regina Coeli Report, we offer a glimpse at how some of these festivals have been honored at the chapels of the Society of Saint Pius X while providing some edifying material on the history of All Saints’ Day, praying for the dead throughout the year, and the importance of Christ’s Kingship according to the words of the Society’s founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.
For those new to Angelus Press, this issue of the Regina Coeli Report surveys the Press’s work as part of the continuing mission of the Society to “restore all things in Christ.”
During the month of November, the Church asks us to redouble our prayers and sacrifices for the souls in Purgatory. She asks us to help remit the punishment incurred by their sins, already forgiven.

In this issue of the Regina Coeli Report we focus on processions. As an act of public worship, processions once played an important role in the life of the Catholic Church.

Over the course of the last century, however, processions started to dwindle.
Do any of us truly understand what an incredible gift we have in the Real Presence of Our Savior in the Blessed Sacrament? The Son of God waits for us in the tabernacle, but few take advantage of this incredible opportunity.
