“Halloween is meant to be a saintly event. It should never be a scary one.”


-Fr. Phillippe Angelo Garcia

The word "Halloween" is a short form of 'All Hallows Eve' which simply means the eve of all the saints. Remember,
we use the word 'hallow' in the old form of the Lord's Prayer:
‘Our Father, who art in heaven, HALLOWED be thy name’
The word 'hallow' is defined as a verb: to make holy.
3 WAYS TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN AS A CATHOLIC

1. Attend Holy Mass together as a family and pray together as a family.


The best way to make Halloween holy is to attend the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist because this sacrament is
the highest form of prayer.
If the any circumstance hinders the family from attending, it is highly recommended that the family pray the Holy
Rosary together because the Holy Rosary makes us meditate on the life of Jesus and it makes us closer to the
Blessed Virgin Mary, the queen of all the saints. Let us hold on to the words of St. Louis de Montfort that as we
hold our rosaries to pray, we are also holding the hands of Mama Mary. The hands of Mama Mary will always
lead us to Jesus.
2. Do good deeds.
After attending Holy Mass or praying together as a family, it is important that we translate into actions what we
made present in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist and in the Holy Rosary for to be holy does not just mean to
simply kneel down and pray.
For us to be Holy, we must also act. Remember that faith, our way to holiness, without action, is dead
(James2:17).

3. Be familiar with our saints, the heroes of our faith.


Any saint of the Roman Catholic Church may be an inspiration to each one of us and be imitated. It can be the
favorite saint of the family or it can be a saint whose life is highly relatable to the child/student. Reflecting and
understanding the life story of the saint is necessary for they become our guide in the path to holiness.
