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.
Couples who are celebrating 50 years of marriage in 2010 renew their vows at a Sept. 19 Mass celebrated by Cardinal George. Nearly 350 couples attended the Sept. 19 Mass in their honor at St. John Brebeuf Parish in Niles.
