One of the beautiful traditions of our school is the Pilgrim Virgin Statue Program whereby families are invited to host one of two statues of Our Lady of Fatima in their home for one week. While the statue is in the home, families are encouraged to pray together part of or the entire Rosary for the intentions of our school as well as their own private intentions. The presence of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue is certain to increase your devotion to Mary and to bring you and your family closer to her Son.

Families who wish to participate in this program may sign up on Track It Forward. (https://www.trackitforward.com/site/935959/event/983843)

Pick up time for the Statues at the front office is before 2:30 PM on Friday (unless otherwise noted) with a return time of before 9:00 AM the following Friday. Please be sure to sign in and out for the Statue in the Visitor Binder at the front desk.

Should you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the Pilgrim Virgin Statue Rotation Coordinator, Mrs. Fuzzy Reynolds or call (703-368-4400).

Congratulations to members of the All Saints Band on their performance at the Music in the Parks Festival this past Friday at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA. The All Saints Advanced Band performed in competition at Jamestown High School. The judges in the competition were professors from Virginia Commonwealth University and Old Dominion University.  

As a result of their performance, the students attended an awards ceremony in Busch Gardens, where they were awarded two trophies: 1st Place in their Division and the Esprit de Corp Trophy, the “spirit of the festival” award. This award recognizes the participating organization that displays an exemplary attitude of positive support and outstanding personal behavior throughout the festival weekend.

Performance recap scores revealed that our band had been awarded the highest scores at the festival, 93/95 points from each judge. The students and chaperones then enjoyed fun time and lunch at Busch Gardens. Mr. Sokolowski and Mrs. Croson, two lead band parents, organized a wonderful band trip for our students.  

Our band will be performing its Spring Concert tomorrow (Tuesday, May 14) at 2:00 and 7:00 PM in the Parish Activities Center. Come out and support our talented beginner and advanced bands. Our thanks to all of the chaperones for their assistance on the trip, and a special thanks to Mr. Barry Ward for his continued outstanding leadership of the All Saints Band Program.

All Saints Catholic School was thrilled to welcome Laura Theissen, the author of the newly published book, “Cuthbert: The Eagle Who Found His Wings,” to All Saints Catholic School on Thursday, February 1st. This special author visit took place as part of our Catholic Schools Week celebration!

Mrs. Theissen, a former All Saints school parent, recently published this inspiring tale of a majestic American bald eagle who loves to swoop and fly above the clouds. Then one day, his life changes, and through adversity, he learns the power of God’s love and grace and what it really means to soar.

Those who love our All Saints Eagle mascot Cuthbert are sure to be engaged by this heartwarming story. Cuthbert has an extra special place in the hearts of the Theissen family. When the author’s son Lucas was in sixth grade at All Saints, he won a contest to name our eagle mascot. Lucas selected the name Cuthbert after learning about St. Cuthbert and his efforts to protect birds and wildlife.
