Father Leo discusses the true origins and meaning of Halloween from a Catholic perspective, revealing that it is not only permissible but expected for Catholics to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve. He explores the deep theological roots of the holiday, tied to the celebration of All Saints’ Day and the concept of memento mori—remembering death in light of eternal life. Addressing misconceptions about Halloween being pagan or evil, he explains how it was originally a Christian vigil to honor the dead and prepare for sainthood. Father Leo also offers practical and spiritual advice for families on how to celebrate Halloween with holiness and joy. From costume blessings to visiting cemeteries and starting a family Book of the Dead, this episode is a guide to reclaiming Halloween through faith.
