Honoring the Holy Souls: All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day 2025

The Church invites the faithful into a sacred time of remembrance and prayer for the departed. This year, the Solemnity of All Saints falls on Saturday, November 1, and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, All Souls' Day, is observed on Sunday, November 2.

All Saints' Day – November 1, 2025

All Saints' Day is not a Holy Day of Obligation in the United States this year because it falls on a Saturday. According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, when a feast like All Saints' Day falls on a Saturday, the obligation to attend Mass is lifted.

Participation in Mass is still encouraged to honor all saints, known and unknown, and to reflect on the call to holiness.

All Souls' Day – November 2, 2025

All Souls' Day is a day of prayer for all the faithful departed. Catholics are encouraged to attend Mass and offer prayers for the souls of loved ones who have passed away.

Mass Schedule for the Weekend

Weekend Masses at Our Lady of Fatima will follow the usual schedule:

  • Saturday: 5:00 PM (English), 7:00 PM (Spanish)
  • Sunday: 8:30 AM (English), 11:00 AM (English)

There will be no additional Masses for All Saints' Day since it is not a Holy Day of Obligation this year.

Remembering Loved Ones

The faithful are invited to write the names of deceased loved ones in the Book of Remembrance located inside the sanctuary. Photos of loved ones may also be placed on the remembrance table as a prayerful tribute throughout the month of November.

Visiting the graves of loved ones, lighting candles, and offering prayers for the departed are meaningful ways to honor them and reflect on the hope of eternal life.


Honrando a las Almas Santas: Día de Todos los Santos y Día de los Fieles Difuntos 2025

La Iglesia invita a los fieles a un tiempo sagrado de recuerdo y oración por los difuntos. Este año, la solemnidad de Todos los Santos se celebra el sábado 1 de noviembre y la conmemoración de los fieles difuntos, el Día de los Fieles Difuntos, se observa el domingo 2 de noviembre.

Día de Todos los Santos – 1 de noviembre de 2025

Este año, el Día de Todos los Santos no es un día de precepto en los Estados Unidos, ya que cae en sábado. Según la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos, cuando una solemnidad como el Día de Todos los Santos cae en sábado, la obligación de asistir a Misa se suspende.

Se anima a participar en la Misa para honrar a todos los santos, conocidos y desconocidos, y reflexionar sobre el llamado a la santidad.

Día de los Fieles Difuntos – 2 de noviembre de 2025

El Día de los Fieles Difuntos es un día de oración por todos los fieles difuntos. Se anima a los católicos a asistir a Misa y ofrecer oraciones por las almas de los seres queridos que han fallecido.

Horario de Misas del Fin de Semana

Las Misas del fin de semana en Our Lady of Fatima seguirán el horario habitual:

  • Sábado: 5:00 PM (inglés), 7:00 PM (español)
  • Domingo: 8:30 AM (inglés), 11:00 AM (inglés)

No habrá Misas adicionales para el Día de Todos los Santos, ya que no es día de precepto este año.

Recordando a los Seres Queridos

Los fieles están invitados a escribir los nombres de sus seres queridos fallecidos en el Libro de Recuerdo ubicado dentro del santuario. También se pueden colocar fotos en la mesa de recuerdo como homenaje orante durante el mes de noviembre.

Visitar las tumbas de los seres queridos, encender velas y ofrecer oraciones por los difuntos son maneras significativas de honrarlos y reflexionar sobre la esperanza de la vida eterna.
