All about Saints/ Halloween

Check out this great video on the correlation between Saints and Halloween. The video is about 8 minutes long - but it flows quickly and has lots of great pictures and information. The priest that talks on the video is also very easy to listen to and not boring :) This would be a great video to share with both Catholic and non-Catholic friends! (watch until the end for some saint 'humor')
