Members of the Central Ohio Purgatorial Confraternity, a lay apostolate, pray a First Tuesday Devotion every month after Black Fasting until sunset around 7 pm. The First Tuesday devotion involves doing a Black Fast on that day, attending the Holy Mass and offering it for the faithful departed, as well as praying the Chaplet for the Dead (if one is unable to attend the Holy Mass, he/she must make a Spiritual Communion). These acts are also performed on All Soul's Day, along with praying five decades of the Sorrowful Mysteries with the intention of the Holy Souls while at a graveyard.
