All Saints & All Souls: Remember Me at the Altar is a gentle, multi-age Catholic family pilgrimage from All Hallows’ Eve through November 8.

It brings together faithful Catholic teaching, real family remembrance, beautiful traditions from around the world, prayer for the dead, meaningful activities, and an heirloom keepsake—all within one peaceful plan for your family.

Instead of gathering separate readings, prayers, crafts, and lessons for every age, you can open one beautiful study and begin.

Your four-year-old can listen, color, and light a candle.

Your eight-year-old can follow the journey map, bake soul cakes, and fill a Pilgrim Passport.

Your teenager can read Scripture and the Catechism, consider the deeper questions, and even teach one of the country pages to younger siblings.

You teach once, and everyone is fed.

A JOURNEY FROM LEARNING TO PRAYER

These pages do more than tell children what All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day mean. They help your family live these holy days together.

Your children will:

• Meet the saints in Heaven and understand the Communion of Saints
• Learn why Catholics pray for the faithful departed
• Receive a gentle, hopeful explanation of Purgatory
• Read the true stories of the Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne and St. Monica
• Begin a family Book of Remembrance
• Pray for loved ones by name
• Prepare for a family cemetery visit
• Follow the Church’s special days of prayer from November 1–8
• Travel through Catholic traditions from Mexico, Guatemala, the Philippines, Poland, Ireland, England, Italy, and Spain
• Bake traditional English soul cakes
• Make a Guatemalan-inspired cross kite
• Prepare an All Hallows’ Eve family night
• Complete coloring pages, a word search, and a crossword
• Collect stickers in a Pilgrim Passport
• Finish with a personalized 8 × 10 We Remember keepsake to frame

THREE LEVELS—ONE FAMILY TABLE

Each lesson includes age-appropriate ways for several children to participate together:

FOR LITTLE HEARTS · AGES 4–7
Listen, point, color, answer aloud, and say one short prayer.

FOR GROWING HEARTS · AGES 8–12
Narrate, find countries on the map, copy prayers, and complete short written responses.

GOING DEEPER · AGES 13+
Read Scripture and the Catechism, examine history and evidence, and thoughtfully explain the Faith.

This structure is especially helpful for large Catholic families. Read the main page aloud once, then let each child respond at an appropriate level. Older children can help lead, while little ones remain part of the same family lesson.

A PEACEFUL PLAN FOR REAL FAMILY LIFE

An eight-day schedule guides your family from October 31 through November 8, but it remains completely flexible. Skip a day, combine two days, or continue through the whole month of November.

The included Minimum Day gives you a faithful option when life becomes busy: light a candle, pray the Eternal Rest prayer for the names in your Book of Remembrance, and color one page.

You do not have to do every page. You only have to begin.
