We Care Week Supports Catholic Charities
Each year the Diocese of Arlington hosts We Care Week, an annual opportunity for schools to acknowledge and support the outstanding work of Catholic Charities. In recent years, All Saints Catholic School has responded very generously to this effort, typically contributing more than $1,000 on each occasion. Through the years we have requested that the funds from our community be directed to the St. Lucy Project, a large warehouse in Manassas where staff and volunteers process and distribute donations to numerous food pantries in our region.
This year We Care Week will begin on Sunday, November 28. In support of this initiative, all students are invited to participate in a Dress Down Day on Wednesday, December 1.
The cost to participate is $1.00 with families invited to make an additional donation to support this wonderful cause. Again this year, we will request that the donations from our school specifically target the needs of the St. Lucy Project.
Contributions may be forwarded to classroom teachers or the school office in envelopes marked “We Care Week”. In advance, thank you for your generous support.

Parenting in a Digital Age
The next PTO General Assembly Meeting will take place via Zoom on Tuesday, November 16 beginning at 7:00 PM.
We are pleased to welcome Deacon Marques Silva, Director of the Office of Child Protection and Safety for the Diocese of Arlington, who will present on the topic of “Parenting in a Digital Age.”
A regular speaker at schools and parishes across our diocese, Deacon Silva is well versed on this topic and will provide parents with specific strategies for safeguarding their children in the online world.
- In an effort to make the presentation as relevant as possible for our school community, within the next week we will invite our middle school students to participate in an anonymous ten question survey regarding their use of social media.
- The feedback provided by our students will provide a snapshot of their awareness and use of emerging social media platforms which Deacon Silva will highlight during his remarks.
We hope that you will be able to join us for what promises to be an informative and highly engaging presentation.

Two Alumni Serving as FOCUS Missionaries
Two All Saints Catholic School Alumni and long-time parishioners McKenna DeBruyne and Allison Rice are excited to share an opportunity to join them in Catholic evangelization through an organization called FOCUS. McKenna and Allison have dedicated two years of their lives to being Catholic FOCUS missionaries at the University of Colorado, Mines and the University of Maine.
What is FOCUS?
FOCUS stands for the Fellowship of Catholic University Students and is the largest Catholic college outreach program reaching out to students on over 180 different college campuses. The 800 FOCUS missionaries are trained in outreach and evangelization to bring Christ into a student’s world. Their job occurs on campus – in the gym, the cafeteria and coffee shops, at athletic and Greek events – meeting students where they are. From there, they engage them in friendship and invite them into a relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. They mentor students on how to incorporate Jesus’ teachings into everyday life.
Studies show that those who practice their faith through college are significantly more likely to remain active after graduating. The message of FOCUS is a message of hope: not only do missionaries encounter lost students and invite them back to faith, but these students in turn reach out to their peers, their brothers and sisters, their parents and grandparents. Lives are being changed and souls are being saved!
How Can You Support our Alumni Missionaries?
As missionaries, McKenna and Allison are responsible for fundraising 100% of their mission budget with the help individuals like you. If you are interested in learning more about FOCUS and their mission or want to join McKenna and Allison’s financial support team, please complete the form below and McKenna and Allison will be in contact with you.
Thank you for your generosity and desire to join them in mission to build up leaders, change the world for Christ, and save souls!
