Principal’s Corner
Dear ASCE Families,
This is an exciting time of year as we prepare for Lent and Easter. This Wednesday, Ash Wednesday, begins our Lenten journey, this is a season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This is a time for us to prepare for the celebration of our Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. We need to take time to seek and to follow Christ, to spend time in prayer, and to share what we have with others. As we prepare for Lent, let us be thankful for all the blessings we have been given. Wishing all ASC families a blessed Lenten journey!
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Rhodus
Prayer
Lord God, help us to be one with You during this season of Lent. Guide us as you led Jesus through the trying times in His life. May we let go of our negative habits and thoughts that make us feel distant from Your loving presence. We look forward to the joy of Easter, for our hope is Jesus in this time of preparation. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

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.
