Bishop Kieran Conry encourages Christians to reclaim Halloween by displaying lights in their windows to signify the light of Christ, as Halloween has become the second biggest commercial festival after Christmas and Easter. All Hallows Eve has historically been a day when Christians celebrated saints whose lives reflected Jesus, showing that holiness is attainable. The document advocates celebrating Halloween as a Christian holiday rather than buying into secular and satanic themes, and suggests praying before or after trick-or-treating.

1. Real
Trick-or-Treaters
……Or maybe we could call them Truth-Seekers

2. "Halloween is now the biggest commercial
festival after Christmas and Easter, and it is time
we reminded Christians of what it really is."
Bishop Kieran Conry encouraging Catholics in England and Wales to reclaim
the Christian festival of Allhallows’ Eve on Oct. 31 by displaying a light in
their windows to signify the light of Christ.

3. All Hallows Eve…
• All Hallows Eve or Halloween since antiquity
has always been a day when Christians
celebrated and commemorated the lives of
the Saints who’s lives reflected Jesus Christ.
• Through faith and living the gospel the Saints
allow us to see holiness in the lives of ordinary
people, we realize that Holiness is attainable.

4. Reclaim our HOLY-day, and be a hero
for Jesus!
Celebrate our faith and our Christian
family this Halloween and don’t $buy$
into the secular, sleazy, and satanic
themes of OUR holiday.

7. Vocation
Crisis…?

Maybe even before or after trick-or-treating?
