Eighth Grade Holy Person(s)... The Communion of Saints is the fellowship or spiritual solidarity of all God's people. This communion of holy people, like the Catholic Church itself, is universal. The Catechism explains the vast scope of the Catholic teaching:
"We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are
pilgrims on earth, the dead who are being purified, and the blessed in heaven, all together forming one Church; and we believe that in this communion, the merciful love of God and his saints is always [attentive] to our prayers" (CCC 962).
