November Family Activity 1 NOVEMBER FAMILY ACTIVITY #1 FAMILY PATRON SAINT! November 1st is All Saint’s Day, a holy day with obligation in the Catholic Church. It is a spe- cial day dedicated to the saints of the church. All Saint’s Day was formally started in 609 AD by Pope Boniface IV an was originally celebrated on May 13. In the mid-eighth century Pope Gregory III established it to November 1 as a day dedicated to the saints and their relics. This special feast day has been celebrated for over 1400 years! How amazing is that! Saints are great role models for us because many of them lived everyday lives just like we do. Our first Family Activity for this month is to come up with a family patron saint! Just like our students have a special Partner in Faith saint for their grade level, your family can have a Partner in Faith saint as well! A patron saint is a saint or blessed who, since early Christian times, has been chosen as a special intercessor with God for a for a particular person, place, community, or organization. As a family you can find a special patron saint! For example, if your family loves music, you may want to choose Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music and musicians. It is really fun to research the patron saint! Here are some very helpful website to help you with your research: www.catholic.org/saints (find the tab Saints & Angels) http://www.catholic-saints.org/ https://mycatholic.life/saints/ https://catholicsaints.info/ Once you have decided on your family patron saint, fill out the Patron Saint form. Learn all about the life of that saint. Find a picture or statue that you can put on your family prayer space. If your saint has a special prayer, pray it as a family together. Some saints have even had movies made about their lives! You can spend the month of November getting to know your family saint in many ways! Using the form as a guide, email us your family patron saint and why you chose that saint. Include any creative and interesting things you are doing this month to get to know your special family saint! [email protected] [email protected] .

  • All Saints Day (November 1) & All Souls Day (November 2) Summary
    All Saints Day (November 1) & All Souls Day (November 2) Summary All Saints Day – November 1 – We remember and give thanks and call to mind the people before us who helped us become us and thank them and God for them and keep in mind to do for others what they have done for me. All Souls Day – November 2 – It is about praying for those in Purgatory, which is the way we are finished when we die. We pray that people are open to letting God finish them. Then they can relax forever. Details Source: https://www.catholic.org/saints/allsaints/ 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. Other countries have different rules according to their national bishop's conferences. The bishops of each conference have the authority to amend the rules surrounding the obligation of the day.

  • The Pantheon (Temple of All the Gods)
    The Pantheon (temple of all the gods) is a former Roman temple and since the year 609 a Catholic church in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). It was rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated 126 AD. Its date of construction is uncertain, because Hadrian chose not to inscribe the new temple but rather to retain the inscription of Agrippa's older temple, which had burned down. The building is cylindrical with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 142 feet. It is one of the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings, in large part because it has been in continuous use throughout its history and, since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been in use as a church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs" but informally known as "Santa Maria Rotonda". The square in front of the Pantheon is called Piazza della Rotonda. The Pantheon is a state property, managed by Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism. In 2013, it was visited by over 6 million people.

  • National Shrine of St. Jude SEO Pages
    Carrie Emge Writing Samples National Shrine of St. Jude SEO Pages All Saints Day All Saints Day, also referred to as All Hallows, is a holy day of obligation celebrated on November 1st in honor of all saints and martyrs throughout Christian history, known and unknown. This holy day started when Pope Boniface IV buried the remains of Catholic martyrs beneath the Pantheon in Rome because robbers had been stealing them from the catacombs. Originally a temple for all of the gods, Emperor Phocas gave the Pantheon to Pope Boniface IV who rededicated it as Santa Maria ad Martyres (St. Mary and All Martyrs) in 609 AD. Pope Gregory III dedicated a chapel in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome for Catholic saints, apostles, martyrs, and their relics in the mid-eighth century, and officially affirmed All Saints Day to be celebrated November 1st. While every canonized saint has their own feast day, All Saints Day is the celebration of all Catholic Saints, including those we may not know about. It is also a time to honor those saints who, like St. Jude, have interceded for us in times of need. The Gospel reading for All Saints Day is Matthew 5:1—12, which contains the Catholic prayer of The Beatitudes. The day before All Saints Day is All Hallows Eve (Halloween), October 31st. During the Middle Ages, beggars asked for “soul cakes,” and in exchange for the pastry, the recipient would pray for the souls of all those who have died. Halloween is mostly secular in the United States, as children dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating for candy in their neighborhoods.
