How can Catholic families navigate modern culture’s commercialization of Halloween while properly reclaiming its rich spiritual roots as the vigil of All Saints Day? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Alan Migliorato, Florida business owner, co-founder of Adventure Catholic Leadership Training, and author of The Manly Art of Raising a Daughter.

Migliorato addresses both secular distractions and evangelical objections surrounding Halloween. He breaks down the authentic Catholic origins of All Hallows' Eve—from the Allhallowtide triduum (October 31 – November 2) to traditional practices like "soul-caking"—and warns against the dangers of occult involvement (such as Ouija boards, tarot cards, and fortune telling). Craycraft and Migliorato highlight practical ways parents can form their children in faith, such as dressing up as Catholic saints, avoiding modest or dark cultural traps, and ensuring that Halloween serves as a joyful precursor to the solemnity of All Saints Day rather than a substitute for it.
