Quick History of Parish
All Saints Day is celebrated on November 1 each year. In the United States, the Solemnity of All Saints is ordinarily a holy day of obligation. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) notes an exception: when November 1 falls on a Saturday or Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is removed.
All Saints Day also comes the day right before All Souls Day on November 2. All Souls Day is observed for those who have died, but aren't yet in heaven, and are in a place of preparation called "purgatory."
The Vatican describes these two observances as connected through the “communion of saints” and the spiritual bond between the Church on earth and the Church in heaven.
In fact, the day before All Saints Day, All Hallows’ Eve, along with All Saints Day and All Souls Day, make up the Catholic three-day seasonal observance known as “Allhallowtide.”
The word “saint” refers to someone who is in heaven. While the Catholic Church officially declares many saints, many other holy people are in heaven but not officially recognized.
One of the most encouraging parts of All Saints Day is the reminder that holiness is a calling for every single Christian, no matter who you are or where you came from. We are all invited to be saints! We can do it, through God's grace! On All Saints Day, Catholics are reminded that every Christian is called to holiness and pointed specifically to living the Beatitudes and a life that is of service to God.
This makes the saints wonderfully relatable. Their lives looked different from one another, and they lived in different places and times, but they faithfully followed Christ. The Catholic Church holds the saints up as examples of holiness and teaches about their intercession for us, especially on All Saints Day.
