The All Souls Day is a very big feast in Mexico. Usually an altar is built with family members' photos, memorabilia and ceremonial food for the deceased. At "El Rancho Nazaret," this year's celebration was combined with the All Saints Day Festivities, moving forward our culture of life and love.

Nearly a new feast in our diocese, we were thrilled to "rev up" an All Saints Day celebration. Halloween is known by nearly everyone as a "night of witches", or "feast of devils". Everything has been learned from television, movies and social media. Hearing an explanation catches people completely off guard and incredulous.

In union with USA and Canada, we formed part of the Mexican contingent of the Rosary Coast to Coast event on October 13. Organized by our "Grupo Mariano", 150 prayer warriors gathered as families, Youth and Single Men & Women to pray and intercede on the anniversary of the signature apparition of Our Lady of Fatima.
