Several parishioners of HOCNA remain members only because their elderly relatives and/or parents are also members who want to die peacefully within HOCNA.
In your charity, please remember these families as this is a very stressful time for everyone.
"The spouse of Christ cannot be adulterous, she is uncorrupted and pure, She knows one home; she guards with chaste modesty the sanctity of one couch. She keeps us for God. She appoints the sons whom she has born for the Kingdom. Whoever is separated from the Church and is joined to an adulteress is separated from the promises of the Church; nor can he who forsakes the Church of Christ attain to the rewards of Christ."
--St. Cyprian of Carthage, On The Unity of the Church (Chapter 6, ANF,V:423),

Amen, let us pray for them. There are many good people still trapped in HOCNA.
