All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows, Day of All the Saints,^[3]Solemnity of All Saints,^[4] or Feast of All Saints^[5] is a solemnitycelebrated on 1 November by the Roman Catholic Church and various Protestant denominations, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. The liturgical celebration begins at Vespers on the evening of 31 October and ends at the close of 1 November. It is thus the day before All Souls' Day.

In Catholic theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countries. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the next day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached Heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual bond between those in heaven (the "Church triumphant"), and the living (the "Church militant"). Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways; for example, in the Methodist Church, the word "saints" refers to all Christians and therefore, on All Saints' Day, the Church Universal, as well as the deceased members of a local congregation, are honored and remembered.^[10]

Mr. Richard Collins Anniversary 11th October 2015

We remember at this time of year the late Mr. Richard Collins.

Richard was a supporter of the Traditional Mass within the Menevia Diocese , and provided much assistance to various aspects of the return of the Traditional Mass to the Diocese.

This included setting up and maintaining the communications links and website to enable the faithful to keep in touch with activities in the diocese, fundraising support for the young people and the training of alter servers. In fact, he trained our son Corey and faithfully worked with Corey to enable him to serve the Mass.

Richard also reached many people through his blog "Linen on the Hedgerow".  Many of us will have enjoyed his humour, wit and his thought provoking posts.

We are grateful for all the effort Richard went to in this regard. We continue to pray for Richard and his family , especially at this time, and remain thankful for his support and friendship towards us and all who supported the Traditional Mass in Menevia.
