In this episode dedicated to the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed, we discuss our relationship with those who have died in the faith. What do we mean by "communion of saints?" Do our relatives who have passed away know what is happening on earth? Should we pray for the dead? We answer these questions and more on this week's episode.
These episodes can be viewed live on our YouTube channel every Wednesday at 7:00pm ET.
