Our Lady of Fatima

Beginning in October, the month devoted to the Holy Rosary, All Saints Catholic School families are once again invited to renew their devotion to Jesus through Mary in a special way. On Friday, October 7th, after being blessed at the school Mass, two statues of Our Lady of Fatima will begin traveling to the homes of our school families for week-long visits.

Families who wish to participate can sign up online at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F084CAEAB22A02-pilgrim.

While the statue of the Blessed Mother is in the home, families are encouraged to pray together either part of or the entire 5-decade rosary for the intentions of our school as well as for their private intentions. Included with the statue is a DVD of “The Day the Sun Danced”, which presents the message of Fatima entrusted to three peasant children in Portugal in 1917.

To create awareness about the program, the two statues began traveling from classroom to classroom earlier this week. In addition to informing the students of the opportunity to host one of the statues in their home, the teachers are leading the students in praying a novena that will conclude on October 6th, one day prior to the start of the program.

Should you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the rotation coordinator, Mrs. Julie Mantooth (mantooth06@msn.com).

Building a Home in Bánica

All Saints students present a check to Fr. Keith O'Hare in support of the Bánica Mission.What an exciting assembly to round out our first week back at school!

At a special school assembly, we welcomed Arlington Diocesan priest Fr. Keith O’Hare who serves in the Bánica Mission in the Dominican Republic.

In support of our 2015-16 school theme, “Building God’s house in kindness and mercy,” our students raised funds throughout the year in support of the Bánica Mission.

Today they presented a check to Fr. O’Hare for $6,000 which will be used to build a home for a family in Bánica.

As a school community, we give thanks to God for the blessings we’ve received and are able to share with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
