In years past we have been able to surround ourselves with a visual reminder of the the great cloud of witnesses who have loved and inspired us. For health and safety reasons in 2020 our visual reminder will be online.

I invite you to send a digital photo of your saint(s) to our St. Hugh's Gmail Account. Take a picture of a picture if necessary. You may also send a digital photo of a memento of your loved one (for example images of a rosary, a prayer book, a favorite cup, and so on) to be included in our 2020 All Saints Photo Gallery.

Commemorates all saints, known and unknown, on Nov. 1. All Saints' Day is one of the seven principal feasts of the church year, and one of the four days recommended for the administration of baptism. All Saints' Day may also be celebrated on the Sunday following Nov. 1. Online here.

This optional observance is an extension of All Saints' Day. While All Saints' is to remember all the saints, popular piety felt the need to distinguish between outstanding saints and those who are unknown in the wider fellowship of the church, especially family members and friends. Commemoration of All Faithful Departed did not appear in an American Prayer Book until 1979, and it is celebrated on Nov. 2. It is also known as All Souls' Day. Many churches now commemorate all the faithful departed in the context of the All Saints' Day celebration. Online here.
