A Lenten Invitation
As we begin the Season of Lent, I wish to invite you to join with our school community in learning more about our Catholic faith.
Through the generosity of the PTO, this week each family will receive one copy of The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic by Matthew Kelly. Clear and simple in approach, the book outlines practical strategies for more fully embracing a life of faith through prayer, study, generosity and evangelization.
As an incentive to participate in this voluntary journey of faith formation, parents who read the book are eligible to earn two Stewardship Shares for a combined total of four per family.
In the weeks ahead, members of the PTO leadership will send messages of encouragement and insight from their own reading of the text.
And as we plan for the PTO General Membership Meeting on April 26th, perhaps we will even host a “Gold Medal Reader Celebration” for parents!
We hope that you will take some time during this season to read, reflect and pray with us as we continue to discover the great gift of our Catholic faith.
Wishing you blessings during this Season of Lent!

Catholic Schools Week Activities
All Saints join schools across our country in celebrating Catholic Schools Week, an annual opportunity to highlight our heritage and distinct mission. The theme selected for this year is Catholic Schools ~ Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service. At All Saints, this is exactly the type of community we cultivate each day. With a commitment to academic excellence and more importantly, faith formation and character development, the faculty, staff, clergy and parents are united in their efforts to provide our children with a life-changing educational experience.
During Catholic Schools Week, we pause to give thanks for the gift of Catholic education and the many blessings we share as members of the All Saints community. The following is a list of special activities planned for the weeklong celebration.
- Sunday, January 31 – Saturday/Sunday Mass ~ All students are encouraged to wear their school uniform to Mass this weekend.
