Is there an exact time of knowing when a soul will be good enough to go heaven while in purgatory. I hear some people say all souls day or Easter. But is this true? I would think the only one who knows is God himself. I heard this one story about a guy not leaving purgatory till the apocalypse.

Only God knows who and when souls are released from Purgatory. If anyone tells you different they are wrong!
 
It is up to God to determine when He releases a soul from purgatory.

Christmas Day, Good Friday, Ascension, All Souls and Assumption according to one Mystic of the Church Maria Simma. I’ve read other sites saying Christmas and All Souls.
 
Its good to remember our loved ones who have passed on always in our prayers.Even if they have
been released from purgatory none of those prayers are wasted ,I’m sure would help others in need 🤔
 
There are sources (private revelations for example) that say God releases many souls from purgatory on certain days, such as Good Friday, Easter Sunday, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and Christmas Day.
 
No, we don’t know exactly when they go. God’s time is not like our time anyway.

Some saints like Padre Pio had visions of souls going to heaven, so he could tell somebody, “ I saw your mother flying to heaven this morning.” But this is private revelation, so Catholics aren’t required to believe it.

Fr Alessio, who took care of Padre Pio for his last years, told this story. Padre Pio was saying mass one day, and a sacristan who died 70 yrs prior, and was in purgatory for all that time, for lack of respect shown the altar, was allowed by God, to ask Pio for a mass to be said for him that day and he could go to heaven. Pio said the mass for him.

Pio had multiple stories like that to report.

There is no clock in the after life.

Sometimes Purgatory begins on earth at some point in your life. Then after death it may or may not continue.

If one could understand why they are suffering on earth, it would be one thing. Sometimes on earth mental or emotional suffering is so acute that it doesn’t go away for a long time.

I just wonder if the souls in Purgatory experience this suffering in the same way. Perhaps they, too, suffer intensely until it goes away. That’s probably when they see God.
 
Such things are within the judgment of God and it does not benefit us to concern ourselves with them.
