Celebrated each year as a Holy Day of Obligation, All Saints’ Day honors all of our saints, known and as yet unknown. Pflaum offers a number of online resources for All Saints’ Day, including the process of becoming a saint. Help Visions students keep their Thomases and Teresas (and Thérèse) straight with Same-Name Saints, a free printable activity sheet. And Venture students will learn about more than a dozen saints with the What If the Saints Went Out to Trick or Treat? activity page. Even the youngest children can understand that this day honors all good people who live with God in Heaven. In this All Saints’ Day activity, Promise children will match each saint’s name with a related clue and reveal a secret word.
