Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Saints Simon & Jude-Apostles (Tuesday) are two of the not-so-famous apostles. But Simon was known as one of the Zealots, a 1st century guerrilla group, while Jude has a devoted following today as patron saint of hopeless cases.

All Saints day (next Sunday) is the day we honour all the many Saints in heaven who are our role models and our intercessors for us. This is a Holy Day with Sunday mass times. Halloween traditions Friday night are not an official part of Christian tradition but they seem to have taken on a life of their own, especially since ‘trick or treat’ games were imported from USA.

All Souls day (next Monday) its younger brother has more emotional pull than All Saints because it concerns those  we have loved who’ve gone before us.

Our Tradition of blessing the graves of our loved ones begins on Saturday and continues over a whole month.
