“We believe that the souls of all who die in Christ’s grace… are the People of God beyond death. On the day of resurrection, death will be definitively conquered, when these souls will be reunited with their bodies”
Catechism of the Catholic Church
Commemoration of the Faithful Departed • Monday, November 2, 2026
Masses: 8:00 am or 7:00 pm
The Feast of All Souls is a celebration for our departed brothers and sisters who, at death, may not have been cleansed from all their sins and are still undergoing the process of purification. (This process is also known as Purgatory.) Once all attachment to sin has been removed and moral perfection is attained, these souls will enjoy the beatific vision in heaven. We can help these souls achieve purification by prayer and by the sacrifice of the Mass. All Souls Day differs from All Saints Day in that All Saints are already in heaven.
