All Souls Day

In some traditions, Requiem masses are not permitted on Sundays (which commemorate Resurrection)  so All Souls would be transferred to Monday.  But I say it's all one.

THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE! (Apparently nothing in this nation will be left intact.)

via The Washington Post, 20 OCT 2025

By Jonathan Edwards and Dan Diamond

Demolition crews on Monday began tearing down part of the White House to build President Donald Trump’s long-desired ballroom despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building.

Construction teams were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure, according to a photo shared with The Washington Post and two people who witnessed the activity and spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe it.

A cluster of people, including members of the Secret Service, stood on the steps of the Treasury Department to watch the construction unfold, said one of the people. Sounds of construction were also audible on the White House campus, although the project was not easily visible to the public given fencing on the grounds.

Trump has long touted his plans for a 90,000-square-foot structure that would nearly double the footprint of the main building and its East and West wings. He had also suggested that the construction would not affect the existing White House.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of,” Trump said during an executive order signing in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” AND ALL THIS "despite lacking approval from the federal agency that oversees such projects." ~NPR (click)
