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.
