All Souls Day: Royalmont High School Leads Younger Grades

On All Souls Day, the Church invites us to remember and pray for the faithfully departed. At Royalmont High School, our students prepared intentionally for this day and then led younger grades in prayer—a concrete expression of our mission to form strong Christian leaders through integral formation.

How Our High School Prepared for All Souls Day

In religion and advisory, students studied the structure of Catholic prayer and wrote original intercessions.

They composed prayers for specific intentions: veterans, members of religious life, grandparents, children, and their families. As a result, they practiced both reverence and leadership.

Leading Younger Grades at Gates of Heaven Cemetery

During our whole-school visit to Gates of Heaven Cemetery, high school students gently guided elementary classes through moments of silence, Scripture, and intercessory prayer. Parents who attended praised the students’ poise and spiritual maturity. Many were surprised to see how deeply our Royalmont High School students prepare to lead.

Why This Matters: Faith, Leadership, and Hope

This experience brings our spiritual and apostolic pillars to life. Students don’t simply learn about Catholic teaching; they practice it, together, with humility and courage. In praying for the dead, they encounter the Communion of Saints and the hope of eternal life—truths at the heart of the Church’s observance of All Souls Day (learn more from the USCCB).
