Today we celebrate All Saints Day, which is a time for the Church to remember all those saints, known and unknown, who have gone before us and have faithfully walked the Christian path. The mood of this service is one of celebration and joy for all those people who have born fruit for the kingdom by their service to Christ. Today we welcome new members into the communion of saints through the sacrament of baptism. We will also share in the sacrament of communion, remembering our mysterious connection with Christian saints, past and present.
