Solemnity of All Saints – November 1

The Solemnity of All Saints is a major feast in the Catholic Church celebrated on November 1st each year. It honors all the saints—known and unknown—who have attained the beatific vision and dwell in the glory of God’s presence in heaven. This celebration reminds the faithful of their universal call to holiness and the communion of saints, uniting the Church on earth with the Church in heaven. Rooted in early Christian tradition, the solemnity emphasizes the hope and encouragement drawn from the witness of the saints, who serve as examples of faithful discipleship in every age.
