As Fr. Chris Alar explains, the evening we now call Halloween began not as a pagan ritual, but as a sacred Christian vigil—All Hallows’ Eve, the holy night before the solemnity of All Saints’ Day. This feast, instituted in the 700s, has always been a time to honor the saints and pray for the faithful departed. The Church’s ancient practice of vigils reflected the truth that holy days begin at sundown, anticipating the joy of what is to come.

Join Fr. Chris Alar as he describes Church teaching on Video Games as well as examples from the saints such as Carlo Acutis.  Are they allowed?  And if so, how much?  Then watch as he catches Cameraman Giuseppe playing video games instead of working!
