Around the Archdiocese: Students celebrate All Saints Day
November2,2022
by Jessica Miano
Right on the heels of Halloween parades and trick-or-treating festivities, Catholic schools around the Archdiocese hosted another kind of celebration. Our schools and faith formation programs brought students together to celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, also known as All Saints Day, on Nov. 1. All Saints day is one of the eleven feasts celebrated within the Catholic Church during Autumn.
Schools and faith formation groups celebrated All Saints Day with special Masses, fairs, and even an open house where students dressed as saints and then families and parishioners visited and interviewed the saints of their choice!
