Sunday, Nov 1: All Saints. Monday, Nov 2: All Souls. All Saints falls on a Sunday this year, which is rare: the last time was 2020 and the next is 2037, as St. Henry’s bulletin notes. On Monday we pray for the faithful departed, and several parishes offer a Mass of Remembrance, including St. Henry at 6 p.m. with a candle procession and the Book of Remembrance. (Wednesday is St. Charles Borromeo, a bishop who helped renew the Church.)

Five picks worth rearranging your week for.
