As we celebrate Halloween, let's remember the beautiful connection between these three special days in our Catholic faith!

🎃 Saturday, October 31 – All Hallows’ Eve: The evening before All Saints’ Day, reminding us to prepare our hearts to celebrate the saints.

✝️ Sunday, November 1 – All Saints’ Day: A day to honor all the saints in heaven and celebrate their examples of faith, love, and holiness.

🕯️ Monday, November 2 – All Souls’ Day: A day to remember and pray for our loved ones and all the faithful departed.

At Nativity of Mary School, we love sharing the meaning behind our Catholic traditions and helping students understand how faith connects to the celebrations around us.

💙💛 Wishing all our Nativity families a safe, fun, and faith-filled Halloween weekend!
