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.
Caralyn, 5, and Erin, 7, Whalen look into the construction area at the conclusion of a Sept. 29 ceremoy to bless and lay the cornerstone for the new St. Raphael the Archangel Church in Old Mill Creek.
