All Saints Day 2015

Hallowe'en is the eve of All Hallows, All Saints.  This is the second year we are hostingAll Saints Day. Saint's day party could be fun and help us to put back on the thought that we all have to 
strive to become saints before we die.

'Celebration of Hallowe'en should be linked with the fact on the next day, All Hallows, November 1, we commemorate with joy the saints, men and women, who have gone to heaven and are now rejoicing with God for ever( A Book on feasts & Seasons by Joanna Bogle).
Last year we had All Saints Day party in our house and I thought it would be better if we could do it in parish. So Fr Robinson agreed to do in his church . Though I wished to do it on All Hallows Eve with some roast marshmallows and craved pumpkins.but failed to do it as it was children's Annual Sunday School celebration and Annu was doing welcome dance with her friends. It was a great opportunity for Annu and as a whole family enjoyed her performance.


On Sunday many children dresed up as their favourite saints and as per Fr Robinson kidoos introduced their saints during homily. It was an amazing chance for the children.


Annu dressed up as St Elizabeth of Hungary,Munnu as St Stephen and I  wished to help him bit more.
Theresu dressed as St Cecilia and a harp was made using sticks from our garden and put some rubber bands on it.

There was some games prepared for the children, one was matching game. Children have to match symbols to the saints displayed.

Another was Guess how many inside jars?. Thank Lord it was a great day and I went for Holy Mass in the evening. Many ideas were borrowed from shower of roses, catholic inspired and just like me


                                        All Saints Pray for us.
