During the weeks leading up to the solemnity of All Saints (November 1st) and the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls, November 2nd, on a Sunday this year), the Church celebrates some of her greatest saints. These memorials of God’s holy ones are like a great procession, at the end of which all of humanity, past and present, is invited to join. Here’s a glimpse of the holy days ahead!
