Catholics to observe All Saints' Day on Nov. 1

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Catholics will observe the solemnity of All Saints on Sunday, Nov. 1, which replaces the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time. Because the solemnity falls on a Sunday this year, it remains a holy day of obligation.

The liturgical observance begins on Saturday, Oct. 31, with Evening Prayer 1 of the Liturgy of the Hours. A vigil Mass for All Saints may be celebrated on Saturday. The solemnity honors all saints, including those formally canonized by the Church and those who have attained heaven but are not canonized.

The observance is followed by All Souls' Day on Nov. 2, a day when the Church prays for the deceased.
