2024 All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day Schedule of Masses; Enroll Your Deceased Loved Ones in the All Souls’ Day Novena

Friday, November 1, 2024, is the Solemnity of All Saints or All Saints’ Day: Reflecting on all of the saints in heaven, those known and those unknown, reminds us of our belief as Catholics in the Communion of Saints, professed as we recite the Creed at Mass. The Communion of Saints is a fellowship encompassing all members of the Church: The Church Triumphant (the deceased, or saints, who are in heaven), the Church Militant (the living who are still pilgrims on their earthly journey) and the Church Suffering (the souls of the deceased who are being purified in purgatory and awaiting entrance into heaven). The Communion of Saints is a way of uniting us all in one, holy, Catholic family. All Saints’ Day Masses will include our regular weekday Masses (6:30 a.m., 8 a.m. and 12:10 p.m.) with additional Masses at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. (choir). This day is a Holy Day of Obligation, so we look forward to seeing you at one of the Masses.

Saturday, November 2, 2024, is the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, or All Souls’ Day:

This is a time for us to remember and pray for the souls of those individuals in purgatory. In celebrating Mass on All Souls’ Day, priests may wear vestments that are violet (symbolizing penance), black (symbolizing mourning) or white (symbolizing the hope of resurrection).

Our All Souls’ Novena also begins on November 2. You will be able to notate your loved one’s name when you enroll then and make a remembrance donation. Please click here to do so. All those enrolled will be remembered at Mass and their names will be placed on the altar through November 10. There will only be one All Souls’ Day Mass — at 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 2.
