"All Christians aspire to become saints, that is, persons in heaven (officially canonized or not), who lived lives of great charity and heroic virtues".
Nov. 1st, at the All Saints Day Mass in the EC auditorium, students got together to celebrate the lives of the saints, and remember those special saints who were a part of their lives. Each person also lit a candle in memory of loved ones who've gone ahead.
Patron saints are chosen as special protectors or guardians over areas of life. These areas can include occupations, illnesses, churches, countries, causes -- anything that is important to us. Angels can also be named as patron saints. A patron saint can help us when we follow the example of that saint's life and when we ask for that saint's intercessory prayers to God.
