Today’s Topic – Soul Cakes

• The red clay of Oklahoma – our fountains are red b/c of the clay.
• QUESTION: Why do we have soul cakes?
• ANSWER: The poor souls in purgatory.
• The children would sing soul songs and go from door to door and sing these songs. The people would give them “soul cakes” in exchange for the childs promise to pray for the soul of a family member.
• So this is how the tradition of “trick or treating” as we do it today.
• Everything you celebrate today has Catholic roots.
• AUDIO/VIDEO: Around the Year with the The Von Trapp Family 
• Plenary or Partial Indulgences –
• 1st 8 days in November you leave the Mass, go to a cemetery and pray for the release of a soul. Pray a Hail Mary and an Our Father.
• Letter of Good Standing from our local Priest so we can come down to Louisiana – Shrove Tuesday to speak.
