Black Catholic History Month  

Throughout November  

In 1990, the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus of the United States designated November as Black Catholic History Month to celebrate the long history and proud heritage of Black Catholics. This month is a time to celebrate the contributions of Black Catholics to the Roman Catholic tradition. With the feasts of All Saints and All Souls during the month, it is also an occasion to recall in a special way the saints and souls of Africa and the African Diaspora. 

All Saints Day  

Sunday, Nov. 1 

In the Catholic faith, Nov. 1 is the liturgical feast of the solemnity of All Saints and Nov. 2 is All Souls Day, the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed.   

All Souls Day 

Monday, Nov. 2  

Members of the University community can submit names of deceased family members and friends. These names will be placed in a basket in the De La Salle Chapel, and the University community will unite in prayer to remember them at our daily Eucharistic Liturgy and other prayer services in November. During these early November celebrations, those of us still living (the Church militant) unite our hearts with, and in a special way remember, the faithful departed, whether they be in heaven (Church triumphant) or in purgatory (Church suffering).    

Dia de los Muertos  

Sunday, Nov. 1 and Monday, Nov. 2  

Also known as the Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion. It is a blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion, and Spanish culture. It is celebrated each year from Oct. 31 – Nov. 2, with Oct. 31 being Halloween and Nov. 2 being All Souls Day in the Catholic Church. On the Day of the Dead, it’s believed that the border between the spirit world and the real world dissolves. During this brief period, the souls of the dead awaken and return to the living world to feast, drink, dance, and play music with their loved ones. In turn, the living family members treat the deceased as honored guests in their celebrations and leave the deceased’s favorite foods and other offerings at gravesites or on the ofrendas built in their homes. The most prominent symbols related to the Day of the Dead are calacas (skeletons) and calaveras (skulls).
