Halloween: To Celebrate or Not?
Can Catholics celebrate Halloween? A simple yet controversial question. Some view Halloween as a pagen holiday with its roots in the occult and others view it as ok to celebrate. Therefore, we owe it to our children to know what society is asking them to celebrate, verses what our Catholic faith tells us they should celebrate. Our goal here is to allow children to celebrate this festive time in a way that is in accordance with their faith.
