Several bishops have agreed to promote the in their dioceses including Archbishop Vincent Nicols of Birmingham. The Archbishop has sent a letter to all his priests asking them to promote in their parishes. He urges Catholics in his diocese:

"In order to counter an increasing tendency for the popular mind to make the association between Hallowe'en and secular if not pagan imagery I would invite every parish to think about what it could provide in the late afternoon and evening of Hallowe'en in order to express the life of the Church and indeed in families that this is the beginning of a feast in which we rejoice in the work of God seen in his saints and cause of great inspiration and joy to the world."
