************************************

Pope Gregory IV established this commemoration in 835 to honor all the saints, known and unknown, of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly those who have no special feast day of their own.

We thank the Lord for all the saints, who by their very lives have witnessed God's love and his Kingdom here on earth. Their life example is our ho...pe and inspiration as we go through our own journey on earth in our time.

You all the saints of God, please pray for us.

Deo Optimo Maximo
