All Saints Day Feast
All Saints Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1. The day is dedicated to the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. HFA will celebrate this solemnity on Friday, October 30.
Día de los Muertos
Día de los Muertos is a joyous celebration where we commemorate our departed loved ones and partake in the long-standing Mexican traditions that make this day unique. These include dancing, breaking a piñata, and eating traditional foods like tamales and pan de los muertos. The ofrenda, or altar, is the focal point of the celebration. It is adorned with marigold flowers and photographs of those who have passed away. Most importantly, we take time to pray for our departed loved ones to reach the beatific vision and pray that one day we may see it too.
Students are welcome to bring in a photo of a passed loved one to put on the altar.
