Sundays and Holy Days in November 2025
Solemnity of All Saints (All Saints Day)
Saturday November 1, 2025
All Saints Day is celebrated on November 1. It is a holy day when Catholics honor all the saints, both known and unknown. It reminds us that the saints are with God and pray for us. This day teaches us about the Communion of Saints, showing that we are connected with those in heaven, those in purgatory, and those on earth. It is also a reminder that we are all called to be saints by living holy lives and following Jesus.
The day is filled with joy and hope. People go to Mass to give thanks for the saints and ask for their prayers. All Saints Day points us to heaven and encourages us to live with faith, knowing we have many holy friends who help guide us on our journey.
All Souls Day
Sunday November 2, 2025
All Souls Day is celebrated on November 2. It is a day to pray for all who have died, especially the souls in Purgatory. The Church teaches that these souls are being made clean before entering Heaven. They cannot pray for themselves, so our prayers help them. On this day, Catholics go to Mass, visit cemeteries, and pray for loved ones and for all who have no one to pray for them. It is a day of love, mercy, and hope in eternal life.
The tradition began in the early Church and was set on November 2 by St. Odilo of Cluny in the year 998. Over time, it spread through the whole Church. Today, it is marked in many ways across the world.
The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
Sunday November 9, 2025
The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica is celebrated on November 9. This basilica is the cathedral of Rome and is called the mother church of all churches. The feast reminds us of its importance as the Pope’s church and a symbol of unity for Catholics everywhere. Special Masses and prayers are held on this day to honor the dedication of the basilica.
This feast is a time to give thanks for the faith passed down through the Church. It helps us remember that we are united as one family in Christ. The Lateran Basilica stands as a sign of that unity and of the strength of the Catholic faith across the world.
33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday November 16, 2025
The 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C reminds us to live with faith and diligence. It calls us to take our daily responsibilities seriously and not fall into idleness. Our faith should be shown through steady effort and trust in God’s care.
This day also points to trials we may face in life, such as hardship and persecution. Yet we are encouraged to endure with courage and hope. Faithfulness in difficult times brings strength, and those who stand firm will find salvation. The message is clear: remain faithful, keep working with purpose, and trust that God’s justice will prevail.
Solemnity of Christ the King
Sunday November 23, 2025
The Solemnity of Christ the King Year C teaches us that Jesus is our true King. His kingdom is not about wealth or force, but about love, mercy, and peace. He leads by serving and giving His life for us. His rule shows us that real power is found in kindness, forgiveness, and sacrifice.
This feast also reminds us that His kingdom will never end. Earthly rulers come and go, but Christ’s reign is forever. He calls us to live in His love and to trust in His mercy. When we follow His way, we share in the joy of His kingdom, both in this life and in the life to come.
1st Sunday of Advent
Sunday November 30, 2025
The 1st Sunday of Advent Year A begins a new season of hope and preparation. It calls us to stay awake and ready for Christ. Advent is a time to watch, wait, and live with purpose. We are invited to put aside distractions and open our hearts to God. This season helps us remember that Christ is near, and we must prepare for His coming with faith and hope.
Advent also calls us to live in the light. We are urged to choose peace, kindness, and honesty instead of darkness. It is a time to begin again in faith and to seek God’s peace in our lives and in the world. This Sunday invites us to slow down, prepare, and walk with hope toward Christ.
