We are Called to be Saints: Live the Gospel All Saints is a ministry of St. Peter, St. Ann and Our Lady of Fatima parishes. As the members of these three parishes built their churches, they also built a Catholic school for their children to attend. In 1974, the three schools were combined into one — All Saints. We serve the members of these three parishes, along with others who accept our mission and philosophy. All Saints Students All Saints Catholic School is a parochial school, not a private one. We exist to provide instruction in the traditions and values of the Catholic faith. Each student begins and ends their day with prayer. Each course is taught against the background of our faith and the truth it professes. But how do you measure the Catholic identity of a school or how well it is teaching Catholic doctrine to its students? Here are a few ways All Saints strives to reflect our Catholic identity:
Award Winning Community Service
In 2008, seventh-grade teacher Joe Staebell and a group of his students were awarded a Chase Youth Award for creating books-on-tape for patients in the Pediatric Oncology Unit at Sacred Heart Childrens' Hospital. Earlier, the project received national recognition when it was featured in an issue of the Chronicle of Philanthropy. In addition, our seventh graders have become pen pals with young cancer patients, have held birthday parties for patients without families close by, have raised fund for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and the Mark Rypien Foundation. Each year, with the guidance of their teachers, our seventh graders are reaching out to make a difference in the lives of families struggling with cancer. All Saints Teachers Jesus was a teacher and is a model for all of us who have chosen to work in a Catholic School. Each day, our teachers help open our students' minds and hearts to the gospel. They help our students make a choice to live wisely in the world, serve others in our community and choose to live, every day, as Jesus did. |
