Notre Dame High School, San Jose

On November 1st and 2nd, we celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. Officially known as the “Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed,” All Souls’ Day is a day to celebrate, honor, and pray for all those who have died to rest peacefully with God. Many pray for their friends and family who have passed on this day. In Mexico and other Hispanic countries and communities, All Souls’ Day is the second day of the famous “Día de Los Muertos” celebrations.

All Souls’ Day is celebrated all around the world in a variety of ways to celebrate our loved ones who have passed away. This could mean visiting their cemetery, lighting a candle at Mass in honor of them, or cooking a meal that reminds us of them. You could even participate in an activity they loved during their time on earth, such as playing music or a game they enjoyed.

Let us pray. God, listen kindly to our prayers, and, as our faith in your Son, raised from the dead, is deepened, so may our hope of resurrection for your departed servants also find new strength. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. _{(Collect prayer for All Souls' Day)}
