Solemnity of All the Saints

Saturday, November 1, 2025, Solemnity of All the Saints, which will be celebrated at the 8 a.m. Mass.

The Solemnity of All Saints, a celebration honoring all men and women who have entered Heaven. While this includes every soul in Heaven, the focus is particularly on those who led extraordinarily holy lives on earth and who the Church has canonized as saints. These individuals honored God in a variety of ways: through deep prayer and mystical union, through enduring martyrdom or other forms of religious persecution, and through acts of service, such as caring for the needy or teaching the faith. Some saints were powerful preachers or miracle workers. Others were leaders, some lived in obscurity, and still others experienced exile or made significant personal sacrifices for their faith. In various ways, these saints glorified God during their lifetimes.

November 1, the Solemnity of All Saints (Since this falls on a Saturday in 2025, the obligation to attend Mass is abrograted, or lifted. It is not a Holy Day of Obligation in 2025.)
