Faith Focus:

All Saints & All Souls: One Family in Christ

November begins with two beautiful celebrations.


On All Saints’ Day (November 1), we honor all those who have reached heaven, including many whose names we may never know.


On All Souls’ Day (November 2), we pray for those who have died, entrusting them to God’s mercy as they journey toward the fullness of heaven.


 These days remind us that death does not end our relationship in Christ. We remain one family, united by His love.


This week: Pray for a loved one who has died, and ask a saint to pray for you.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
