Our Team
God, the Father
There is only One who is the Most Holy.
There is only One who is the Most Sacred.
There is only One who is the Most Adorable. Yes, Adorable. Holy and Sacred are how we describe God the Father. Yet, after the two most obvious knowns, He describes Himself as Adorable. The One Who Created All sees Himself as Delightful, Lovable and Charming. How beautiful for us to know Our Creator has such a beautiful heart that is connected to our heart from the moment our soul was Created. God The Father gets excited each time a Poor Soul is escorted into Heaven by St Michael the Archangel, the Blessed Mother, St Joseph, Angels and Saints, to Adore Him for all Eternity.
CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
Our Lord
King of Kings
St Faustina escorted by her Guardian Angel out of Purgatory, and she heard an interior voice(of Our Lord), “My Mercy does not want this, but justice demands it.”(Diary of Divine Mercy, 20)
Blessed Mother
Queen of All Saints
The Beautiful Blessed Mother was given to the world In the Beginning to combat sin. We are told the Blessed Mother won the world for Her Son before Man and woman left the Garden of Eden. satan, his minions and sinners were put on alert that the Blessed Mother would saves souls and be our refuge as She nurtured us to go to Her Son. Bring your anxious heart to Her Immaculate Heart for peace and calm. The Blessed Mother is a TRUE MOM to every human being, Mom always guides us to Her Son who has control over all, when we ask from our contrite heart. Mom goes to Purgatory to comfort the Poor Souls, bringing prayers and requests to the Holy Judge for Mercy. Pray the Rosary every day. If not, at least pray 3 Ave Maria’s to build up to praying a Mystery of the Rosary, leading to praying all 3 Mysteries per day.
St Joseph
Marketing Director
St Joseph the Worker, fought to protect, love and provide for the Holy Family. Uncertain what St Joseph could teach Our Lord, St Joseph nurtured Him as He grew in Love for His earthly Dad. As the best carpenter and entrepreneur by heart, his carpentry work was flawless. St Joseph was a smart man, who was taken advantage of, just as many are today, when selling his tables, chairs and other wood products. Whatever he could do to provide for his family, St Joseph leapt at the chance without reservation. Many difficult times were overcome by St Joseph, strengthening his resolve to care for the Holy Family. Thanks to his heart and righteousness, evil feared St Joseph, who in the Litany of St Joseph, is described as the “Terror of Demons.”
St Michael, the Archangel
Delivers Souls To Heaven
Known as the Top Cop in the law enforcement community, St Michael the Archangel escorts souls, who don’t jump into Purgatory before Our Lord finishes their Judgement, to Purgatory. Upon completion of their time in Purgatory, St Michael the Archangel escorts that soul into Heaven, to enjoy giving Glory to God for Eternity. St Michael’s name in latin is “Quis ut Deus?” translated to “Who is like God?” He prays always to the Son of God for us. The Feast of St Michael is September 29 in which he escorts many souls from Purgatory to Heaven.
Angels and Saints
guiding and protecting
Praying for the guidance of Angels strengthens our prayer intentions. The beautiful, Divine Protection offered by Warrior Angels, Protection Angels and the 9 Choirs of Angels all want to help comfort your soul. The Saints lived life one earth and were tested as you are being tested today. Suffering brings alertness to our need for help from those who came before us. The Saints want to help us, guide us and root for us to win. Pray to your Guardian Angel, Confirmation Angel and, if married, your Marriage Angel for them to all be there to get you to Heaven.
FOUNDER
Rev Father John V Dumas
Pastor St Patrick's Catholic Church: 1887 - 1890
Founder, Purgatorial Society, December 1, 1888
Purgatorial Society becomes Purgatory People,Inc.,2021
The Saint of the church you attend called you by name. St Patrick’s, where Father John V Dumas, Pastor, started a Purgatorial Society on December 1, 1888, called me. After more than a decade, I can see the many situations where both St Patrick and Father Dumas needed me to connect his Purgatorial Society with Purgatory People. Time is of no importance. To Heaven, a few seconds went by between the end of the Purgatorial Society and the beginning of Purgatory People. What an honor to continue the work of a Pastor who only celebrated the Latin Mass. Father Dumas was interred near the French Settlement area, 100 miles Northeast of New Orleans.

Rev Father Miles
1943 - 2023
Pastor Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Rivertown, LA.
For 30 years, Father Miles, Pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the church in Kenner, Louisiana that has experienced the most blessings and miracles, rescued many Saints statues that surround the perimeter of the nave. In the late 1990’s, an icon of the Blessed Mother cried tears for several weeks. Having altar served for Father Miles, my favorite moments were when a parishioner asked him to pray for them. Father would stop what he was doing and say, “Let’s pray together right now.” You could see the change in people’s faces knowing a priest had prayed with them for their intentions. Oh, what comfort to have such a kind priest make sure your heart is comforted after you share your worries and needs.
Rev Father Peter Mary Rookey, O.S.M.
1916 - 2014
Founder, International Compassion Ministry (ICM)
Olympia Fields, IL
Having met Father Peter Mary Rookey through Mary’s Helpers, I organized two Masses for him, one in Plano, Texas and another in Louisiana. The day before the Mass in Plano, Mrs Trosclair, with Mary’s Helpers, said I could drive Fr Rookey wherever I wanted to. We visited a psychiatric hospital to pray with the daughter, who Fr Rookey helped her Mom previously. While driving south to an abortion clinic where I prayed one day a week, Fr Rookey and I prayed the Scriptural Rosary. Father Rookey knew the entire Scriptural Rosary by heart! After the abortion clinic, we went to my Knights of Columbus Council to pray with many Knights. Bringing Father Rookey to where I pray and serve Our Lord was an honor.
PERSONAL SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR
Mr Frank Kelly
1948 - 2022
Medway, MA
Short Circuit to God – The Electrifying Spiritual Journey of Frank Kelly
Gifted By The Holy Spirit – The Healing Ministry of Frank Kelly
Looking over at the Sacristy door, there was a gentleman in a suit who must have been Frank Kelly. After praying, I turned and the gentleman next to me looked familiar. I asked him, “Sir, I am Ron. I think I know you but I am not sure from where.” He looked away, laughed, then said, “I am Frank Kelly.” I then looked at the man by the Sacristy door and said, “Nope. That isn’t Frank Kelly.” Praying in front of me, with my hands out and Frank’s thumbs in the palm of my hands, Frank spent 10 minutes looking into my soul, telling a lady to write down the Saint and what that was less than 20 seconds to me. I heard 6 words out of many. Afterward, Frank looked exhausted as I asked the lady where the list came from! Months later, Mr Kelly gave me more insight after I emailed him a few situations where I needed the Saints help.
PURGATORY PEOPLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Ron
President
New Orleans, LA
In service to the Queen of Heaven, Her Most Chaste Spouse and Her Beloved Son. Motivational Speaker representing the Poor Souls in Purgatory.
Gregory
Director
Metairie, LA
Every blue moon you will find someone who skews the statistics. Gregory was married for years when his wife, Karen, had a major stroke. Not wanting her to be maimed or die early in a nursing home, Gregory took care of her at home. An average of 4 days a week she had a Dr’s appointment. During those 11 years, she had 39 surgeries and two cancers. Gregory never failed her. Many times as he was at Mass or Eucharistic Adoration, Gregory had to rush home to take care of her needs. Gregory’s wife passed on this past June 24, 2024 after heart complications. I was honored to altar serve at her Memorial Mass.
Soon-To-Be Saints
Church Suffering
Every soul in Purgatory had no mortal sins, had venial sins and either believed Our Lord’s Mercy or were given Purgatory because them going to hell would have been more tortuous because of the work and faith of someone on earth. My parents come to mind. Every prayer, every Holy Latin Mass, every Rosary, every work you do for Heaven, the soul you pray for moves closer to St Michael the Archangel escorting them to Heaven. ALWAYS pray for your family, friends and enemies. The fire burns them right now. Pray a Pater Noster, Ave Maria, Gloria Patri and O Mi Jesu! Deo Gratias!
