✝️ All Saints vs. All Souls Days 🧟‍♀️

November 1 is All Saints Day, a holy day of obligation. We invite all of you to join us for an all school mass at 2:00 PM. On this day we celebrate all of the saints and the fact is, everyone in heaven is a saint. The Catholic Church has officially recognized the sanctity of many saints and we have confidence they are in heaven because the Church as proclaimed it. So on this day we celebrate them AND those we are hopeful are in heaven too (our saintly old neighbor, our grandma who prayed the rosary every day, etc.).


November 2 is All Souls Day (Commemoration of the Faithful Departed). As Christians, we believe that the dead are not gone, their bodies have died but their souls live on forever. If our love for God has been perfected in this life, we will be taken straight to heaven. If we rejected God's love by mortal sin and died without repenting, we will be sent to hell (not recommended). God is merciful, so He wouldn't send souls who love Him to hell. But He is also just, and a soul who loves God imperfectly cannot justly enter heaven. So we need a third option: purgatory.
