All Saints' Day (Solemnity)
About
All Saints' Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. It should not be confused with All Souls' Day, which is observed on November 2, and is dedicated to those who have died and not yet reached heaven.
Although millions, or even billions of people may already be saints, All Saints' Day observances tend to focus on known saints --that is those recognized in the canon of the saints by the Catholic Church.
Generally, All Saints' Day is a Catholic Holy Day of Obligation, meaning all Catholics are required to attend Mass on that day, unless they have an excellent excuse, such as serious illness.
All Saints' Day was formally started by Pope Boniface IV, who consecrated the Pantheon at Rome to the Virgin Mary and all the Martyrs on May 13 in 609 AD. Boniface IV also established All Souls' Day, which follows All Saints. (Catholic.org)

All Saints' Day Prayer
Bless the many parted souls who lived their lives with grace. Bless the saints in heaven, gathered in that special place.
May we tell their stories and remember all the ways they lived their faith and spent their days.
There is glory and reward, even if at first there’s strife. Oh, blessed saints, you help us see a path that’s to eternal life.
May we always hold them dear and know their life and place. May we know their inspiration and aspire to their grace.
