Virtue of the Week
During morning prayer on Monday, April 10, we will introduce Perseverance.
Taking the steps necessary to carry out objectives in spite of difficulties, such as, studying for a test, praying each day, or taking the time to do school work neatly and thoroughly.
Dear Jesus, You carried Your cross to Calvary even though You were tired, weak, and hurting. Please give me strength not to give up when life gets hard. Help me keep my eyes on You and Your Kingdom, so I can do what is right even when I am tired and afraid.

All Saints Catholic Elementary School Mission Statement
All Saints Catholic nurtures academic and personal excellence in all students while emphasizing Catholic values and service to others in Christ’s name.
Parish Info and Mass Opportunities
With the decline of young families attending church and with so much evil and hate in this world today, we need God now more than ever. It is our responsibility as Catholics to go to church weekly. By doing so, we set good examples for our children and do our part to lead them in the direction of Christ our Savior. Attending church as a family is so important and rewarding. It helps to create a special bond between you and God and between your family members. Children need to know and understand the importance of going to church consistently and having a relationship with God. There are many Mass options to accommodate busy lifestyles. So please take a little time out of your busy lives each week to grow closer to God and to enjoy Mass as a family.
