The White House on November 1, 2026, released a presidential message from President Donald J. Trump on All Saints’ Day, honoring Christian saints and noting their influence on American place names, institutions and sports. The message cites cities including San Francisco, San Antonio, St. Louis and St. Paul, and notes that New Orleans received its NFL franchise on November 1, 1966, All Saints’ Day, with the team named the Saints.

The message says the nation especially honors Saint Junípero Serra, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Saint Katharine Drexel and Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini. It states the Christian belief that “death does not have the final word” and closes with greetings from the president and first lady Melania Trump, along with a pledge to “always defend the freedom of Americans to express their faith openly and without fear.”
