Bishop Paul Connell delivers homily on Feast of All Saints

Bishop Paul Connell said during a homily for the Feast of All Saints that holiness is a calling for every Christian rather than a status reserved for a select few.

In his remarks on November 1, Bishop Connell noted that the lives of the saints serve as examples of how to follow Christ and witness to God's love. He stated that this witness begins in everyday life through family, parishes, communities, and society.

The bishop said that holiness can be found in ordinary people through acts of kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and generosity. He added that while Christians face weaknesses and temptations, they are called to turn toward God and trust in His mercy.
