All Saints Day is the day when the church asks us to remember all those who have gone before us and are now with God. Within the church there are the canonised saints, but there are many other good people who live lives that witness to the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today we have the chance in a special way to give thanks for their lives and pray for them, as well as be inspired by their lives as they now rest with God for eternity.

All Saints is one of the days when we are encouraged to attend Mass if we can. Check out Mass times at your local parish.
