Join Fr. Chris Alar on a recently released video of a parish mission in Pennsylvania, where he explains the concepts and reasons why we should all embrace Marian Consecration. Catholics need to be able to explain this tradition when questioned by non-Catholic friends and family.

Fr. Chris reminds us that today — the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed — is one of the most important days of the Church year. Though it’s not a solemnity or feast, its spiritual weight is immense. Following the glory of All Saints Day, we now turn to the souls who still await their full union with God — the holy souls in Purgatory. Together, these three days — All Hallows Eve, All Saints, and All Souls — form what the Church calls Allhallowtide, or the “Triduum of Death.” It is not dark, but deeply merciful, because it reveals God’s justice and His love.

Join us for our classic 1992 series Mercy our Mission with Fr. George Kosicki and Fr. Harold Cohen.
