All Holy Saints, Patriarchs, Prophets and Angels

All Saints Day

November 1 is the Solemnity of All Saints in the Latin Church. What is All Saints’ Day?

Catholic Answers explains:

All Saints Day, celebrated on November 1 in the Roman Catholic Church, is a holy day of obligation, and many other Christians celebrate it too, including Eastern Catholics on the Sunday after Pentecost. On this day, the Church honors all saints, both those formally canonized and others who have attained heaven (see Heb. 12:22-24). These saints are individuals who have lived lives of extraordinary faith and dedication to God, serving as role models for Christians. Whether officially recognized by the Church or not, these saints have played a significant role in spreading Christianity and leading others toward holiness (Matt. 28:18-20).

How All Saints Day Is Observed
We observe All Saints Day by participating in Mass, as it is a holy day of obligation, and in honoring all the saints in a special way at that liturgy. Many Catholics also take part in prayers, reflections, and celebratory meals, as well as visit the graves of loved ones to remember and pray for those who have passed away.

There you have it. Go to Mass.
