CELEBRATING ALL THE SAINTS

This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of All Saints, closely followed on Monday by the feast of All Souls – from which comes the term β€œHalloween”, the evening before All Hallows Day which was the term for All Saints Day in old English.  We remember those many men and women throughout history who have followed Christ sometimes with heroic courage to the point of death, and we also remember during the month of November our own deceased family members and friends.
