All Saints Church

Comprehensive memorial chapel

All Saints Church is a common name for Christian churches dedicated to all saints collectively rather than a specific patron saint.

The name appears across denominations—Anglican, Catholic, Lutheran—and hundreds of churches worldwide bear it.

Many historic All Saints churches date to medieval England.

The dedication relates to All Saints' Day, celebrated November 1.
