The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (colloquially known as "All Souls' Day) was instituted by Abbot Odo of Cluny in his monasteries in 998. It was gradually adopted by the entire Church, and Pope Benedict XV granted all priests the privilege of celebrating three Masses on that day. The primary reason for All Souls' Day is to pray for all the deceased in purgatory, especially those who have no one to pray for them. It is observed on November 2 unless that is a Sunday, in which case it is moved to November 3.
All souls day is on November 2nd.
