Martin Luther King Day of Service

All Saints has a 15 year tradition of serving others throughout our communities on the day celebrating Martin Luther King Jr and his life and legacy.  MLK Day is just around the corner.   “Service” needs to look a lot different this year than it has in the past.  To remain safe and follow Covid protocols, we have planned two different ways to serve the greater community.  The MLK Teacher Committee has worked hard to make this year different, safe and a way to serve Naperville and the surrounding communities.  

 ASCA will be collecting food and other items to stock the Care Pantry of one of our founding parishes - St. Thomas the Apostle.  There will be bins at Doors 1 and 7 beginning on Monday, January 11.  The collection will continue all week ending on January 5.  Please click here for a flyer with more information about what items are needed most.  

We will also be thanking those people who have served the community consistently throughout these many months of the pandemic.  Each student will create a card thanking a person who serves the community.  Each grade will be assigned a group of people to thank, cards will be collected by homeroom teachers and we will make sure the cards are delivered to the proper place.  These cards will be considered “homework” and will receive a Religion Grade. Specific directions will be given next week.

In addition to these planned activities, we will be sharing a list of additional opportunities in the coming week that your family may want to participate in to serve your community.  There is no obligation to participate in any of these activities, but we want to be sure that you know these are available to you.
