All Saints’ Day is one of the Holy Days of Obligation in the Catholic Church; Mass attendance is expected on November 1 for all who are able. For this All Saints’ Day on November 1, 2023, the Mass readings are from Revelation, the First Letter of John, and the Gospel of Matthew, in which we will hear the Beatitudes.
Often, in All Saints’ Day Masses, priests speak of the saints we look to as guides and teachers, reminding us that we, too, can pursue sainthood amidst all our human imperfections.
As St. Francis de Sales encourages us, “You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way you learn to love by loving.”
Mass Times at St. Michael are as follows:
