All Saints' Day Remembrance
In observance of All Saints' Day, we pause and remember those who have gone before us. It can be a confusing day with sadness and celebration intertwined. Certainly, the sadness accompanies grappling with loss, and we need space to grieve. Yet the overall experience may include joy and hope as we remember life isn’t over but beginning again. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the cloud of witnesses and pray for the sense of belonging together in communion and community.

Betty Brandt comments on how two films—Conclave and Penguin Lessons—have taken on unexpected relevance in 2025.

Explore their significance in today's changing world.
