Autumn is the season of the feasts of All Saints and All Souls. The following photos, taken during the late summer and fall, put on display the veneration of Catholics in the Archdiocese of Chicago for those who are saints, and show the efforts of those who are striving to become holy.
Kevin Fuller from the Diocese of Grand Island, Neb., and Markos Martinez, program officer for Catholic Relief Services, listen to a talk during a Sept. 24 youth ministry workshop. Cardinal George welcomed regional and diocesan leaders to the Archdiocese of Chicago to the first full day of “Roots and Wings 2010,” a National Congress on Hispanic Ministry, in Rosemont. The congress brought together groups and individuals who serve Hispanics and the church throughout the United States.
