Diocesan logo While normally a holy day of obligation, since All Saints Day (Nov. 1) falls on a Monday this year, the obligation is suspended. There are churches offering an All Saints Day Mass or All Souls Day Mass so that we may pray for friends and loved ones who have died. May they enjoy eternal life with God.
