All Saints’ Day is a solemn Holy Day of Obligation celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven.

Although millions, or even billions of people may already be saints, All Saints’ Day observances tend to focus on known saints –that is those recognized in the canon of the saints by the Catholic Church.

This year, November 1 falls on a Sunday, so the feast of All Saints will be celebrated at our weekend Masses.
