November, a month of remembrance; remembering the souls in purgatory and those who gave their lives for us in war.
According to Thomas Hood (1799–1845), it is also a month of: "No sun, no moon; no morn, no noon...no warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease." ('November'). But here at Don Bosco Publications, we have lots of warmth, cheerfulness and healthful ease to offer. So, wrap up warm and curl up with a good book to brighten your day, and join us as we rush headlong to Advent.
Find out about events planned for the Salesian Family at home and internationally, and keep track of feast days and days of prayer across the Catholic Church.
