All are invited to Come and witness the Saints come alive, teaching and inspiring us to lead joyful lives. They serve as role models, teaching us that holiness means being who you are, and as an added benefit they pray for us from their posts in heaven.
We can remember their wisdom and acknowledge their impact on the world. Speaking the names of those who have passed and telling stories about their lives can help keep memories of them from fading.
Memorializing the dead can also have a positive
effect on those who remain on this earth.
