Your kids know which houses have the best candy. Do they know what “Halloween” actually means? 🎃👀

Here are FIVE ways to bring your Catholic faith into your family’s celebration:

1️⃣ Explain All Hallows’ Eve.
Halloween means the eve of All Saints’ Day. Help your kids connect October 31 to the celebration of the saints in heaven!

2️⃣ Make Mass part of the weekend.
All Saints’ Day falls on Sunday this year. Celebrate at Mass, and pray the Litany of the Saints together as a family.

3️⃣ Pray for the faithful departed.
Prepare for All Souls’ Day on November 2. Pray for deceased loved ones by name, visit a cemetery, and teach your children to pray for the souls in purgatory.

4️⃣ Get to know a saint.
Share your favorite saint’s story over dinner, let the kids dress as their patron saints, or invite everyone to choose a saint to learn about.

5️⃣ Actually meet your neighbors.
We’re called to love our neighbors. But how can we love them if we never get to know them? While you’re going door to door, introduce yourself, learn a name, and make a friend. That conversation could be the beginning of something beautiful.

Which of these will your family try? 👇
