Saints Speak from Mrs. Marshall - 9/3/2026 - Sincerity: Matching Outward Actions to Inner Thoughts

After Mass tomorrow, our students will meet with their faith buddies and learn about our first virtue of the year, sincerity. I shared briefly with the students earlier this week how sincerity means matching your outward actions to your inner thoughts. It is doing good for the right reasons, not simply for recognition or a reward. Students will spend time this month learning about St. Anthony of Padua, how he modeled sincerity, and how we can follow his example and practice sincerity in our daily lives.

Also, due to the high temperatures expected again tomorrow, we will allow students to wear their uniform shorts instead of pants. 

Calendar Correction and Update

We discovered there was an omission in the 2026-2027 calendar previously shared with parents. There is no school on Monday, March 15, 2027; this is a Diocesan-wide staff development day. Click here for the updated calendar. I apologize for this oversight on our part.

Additionally, we want to make you aware of two early release days when after care will not be available: Wednesday, November 4, and Wednesday, March 3. Both days are 1pm dismissal, and after care will not be available because our entire staff is needed for our staff trainings those days. On the other 1pm dismissal days (9/16, 1/27, 5/12), after care is available until 4pm.

Relics Presentation

Tuesday was an incredible day at ASCA! Archbishop Sorrentino visited us from Assisi, bringing with him relics of St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Carlo Acutis. The Archbishop spoke with the students about how we are all called to sainthood and how St. Carlo is an example of how a “regular” kid can still be a saint. He also talked about finding joy in Jesus, reminding us that “Joy is looking to God, while sadness is looking to oneself.” In addition to venerating the relics, the students were able to ask the Archbishop questions and view an amazing work of art showing the face St. Carlo created from small toys. Students could also write special prayer intentions, which Archbishop Sorrentino will bring back to Italy with him and place at the foot of St. Carlo’s tomb. 

The visit was a moving and powerful experience for all. I've attached a couple pictures. All students preschool-8th grade were given a St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Carlo prayer card to bring home as well. We are grateful to Fr. John Regan for including All Saints in this opportunity!

Upcoming: School Picture Day, Fall Sports Photos, and One Body in Christ T-Shirt Day

We have two picture days next week! Wednesday, September 9^th, is our School Picture Day. Students may wear their uniform or an out of uniform outfit of their choice. Please make sure all outfits are school-appropriate. 

Thursday, September 10^th is Fall Sports Picture Day after school. Information about fall sports photos has been sent already by the Athletic Association. As a reminder, student-athletes may wear their sports uniform to school so they don’t have to change at dismissal time. Sweatpants must be worn over spandex shorts. Parents should wait outside Door 1 at dismissal; students will be sent out as their pictures are complete.

In the next few days your student will be receiving a “One Body in Christ” t-shirt. There will be several days throughout the year when we will all wear this shirt to celebrate our theme. The first day will be Friday, September 11^th, when all students are invited to wear their “One Body in Christ” t-shirt with uniform bottoms to model our unity at our morning Mass.
