Send us a textEvery year, millions celebrate Halloween — but few know that it began as a Catholic feast: All Hallows’ Eve, the vigil of All Saints’ Day. In this pastoral conference, we explore why Catholics no longer celebrate Halloween as the world does, and how we can reclaim its original meaning — a night of prayer, light, and holiness.Grounded in Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the wisdom of the Saints and Church Fathers, this episode offers a clear, compassionate, and practical explanation of:Why Christians should avoid occult or dark imagery, even “for fun.”This episode also explains how to teach children the beauty of holiness through the teachings of saints.How families can replace Halloween with joyful traditions of faith.How to understand cultural customs (like Día de los Muertos) through a Catholic lens.With a balance of spiritual warfare and family catechesis, this talk invites listeners to renounce darkness and embrace Christ — the true Light of the World.🎧 Perfect for parish catechists, parents, youth ministers, and anyone seeking clarity in faith and culture.“We don’t celebrate fear — we celebrate holiness.”Support the show
