All Hallows' Eve and All Saints Day celebrations

“Halloween should not be a day when our churches go dark and Christians retreat into the shadows, but when we fill the darkness with Christ’s light and go out into the culture, inviting everyone to the prepare for the festival of the saints with all the joy we can muster.” Fr. Steve Grunow, CEO of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries
