Celebrating Saints and Souls

Looking for a way to come together as a community to share faith and friendship this week?  Don’t forget that after the Halloween costume parties and trick-or-treating are over, there are two important Catholic feast days to celebrate:

November 1^st is All Saints Day (the vigil of this feast is Halloween). 

November 2^nd is All Souls Day.

Some ideas for celebrating these feasts include:

1.)    Come together as a community to share with each other who your favorite saint is and why.  Or share about someone who you consider to be a saint of our time and how that person’s example has impacted you.

2.)    Come together as a community to have a prayer service for loved ones of your community who have passed away.  Share stories of those people as a way of remembering and celebrating how their lives touched yours and to reflect on how the spirits of our deceased loved ones continue to accompany us.
