This place is really into Halloween. It\u2019s growing in popularity across our culture as a source for revenue for business, but also a cultural fascination with death, zombies, gore, and many other dark things.<\/p>\n

Catholics have a much different approach. I recommend a post from Catholic Lane titled Holiday Hysteria: A Christian Approach to Halloween<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All Hallow\u2019s Eve is celebrated in anticipation of our mass for all the Saints in Heaven. It\u2019s a great catch-all celebration of the Saints we know and don\u2019t know. Most of the time this fact is lost upon our culture, even many Christians. Fr Robert Barron has a great post explaining Culture: Halloween and Catholicism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a great local event in Round Rock for families this weekend that offers a Catholic Halloween party for families.<\/p>\n
