Come join us as we celebrate the Catholic All-Hallowtide,
a triduum of All Hallow’s Eve, October 31st, the All Saints Day, November 1st, and All Souls Day, November 2nd.
Celebrated differently around the world, All-Hallowtide is the Catholic Churches celebration of life, death, and the afterlife. Collectively, these days emphasize the Communion of Saints, a tenet that unites the faithful on earth, the saints in heaven, and the souls in purgatory, binding them in prayer, reflection, and remembrance.
Modern secular celebrations of Halloween, from Irish and Scottish immigrants, and Dia de los Muertos, from Mexico, find their roots in the celebration of this special time of the Church’s Liturgical Calendar.
Join us November 1st, starting at 5PM with mass, as we celebrate as a church Community!
Saint Costumes
Children our encouraged to dress up as their favorite saint or biblical character for mass and our following Trunk or Treat in the GYM.
Costume of Saints are encouraged; princess and superheroes are welcome!
Groups should avoid gory, intense images, innuendos, demonic or satanic references stereotypical with secular Halloween traditions.
