All Souls Day, observed on November 2, is part of a three-day tradition that begins with Halloween and culminates in All Saints Day. While Halloween is often celebrated with costumes and candy, it is rooted in the deeper meaning of “All Hallows’ Eve,” the night before we honor saints who have lived lives of faith and virtue.

On All Souls Day, we pause to remember and pray for the souls of our loved ones who have passed. This day emphasizes the communion we share with those who came before us, reinforcing our belief that the living and deceased remain connected through faith, love, and prayer.

At Catholic Charities, we also take this opportunity to honor the generosity of those who have supported our mission through their legacies. Their kindness enables us to provide essential support and create hope for all in need.

Watch Monsignor’s message about All Souls Day below and join us in honoring our loved ones.

We also invite you to download our special All Souls Day Prayer Card. This card serves as a beautiful reminder to remember, reflect, and pray for those we cherish. Together, we can continue the tradition of love and hope. Download your prayer card here!
