ALL SAINTS DAY
Wednesday, Nov. 1st is a Holy Day of Obligation. Celebrate Mass with us today at 8am & 7pm.
Today is All Saints Day, the day commemorating every saint, known and unknown, as per the Catholic tradition.
Although many of the known saints have their own feast day during the year, on November 1 the Catholic Church
remembers them all through the Solemnity of All Saints.
For the saints that we do not have as much information about, or for those whose feats are still relatively unsung, the day offers an opportunity to commemorate their accomplishments and to pray to them, asking for their intercession.
According to Catholic doctrine, all the world’s saints are forever spiritually connected with the world and can intercede on people’s behalf because of a shared communion with Jesus Christ.
The Catholic Catechism also believes us all to be connected with each other through this shared communion with Christ. A good many saints, from the thousands who have been officially canonized, have been instated as protectors over different aspects of life, such as St. Patrick
for the Irish or St. Vitus who acts as the patron saint against oversleeping.
