Saints Speak from Mrs. Marshall - 11/6/2025 - Live the Virtues and Follow Christ
We were blessed to start the week with a special Mass to celebrate All Saints Day. It was a beautiful liturgy as we remembered the many saints who have gone before us, leading by their example of love. Fr. Max’s homily reminded us that each one of us can be saints if we choose to live out the virtues and follow Christ.
We will still have our regular Friday Mass tomorrow morning at 8:15; please consider joining us! Following Mass, our faith buddies time will be spent learning about St. Martin de Porres and the virtue of justice. Growing up, St. Martin was excluded and treated unkindly. While I’m sure it was tempting to become hardened and unkind himself, he continued to practice the virtues and dedicated his life to serving those who were marginalized and cast out by society. May he be an example to each of us that even in the face of difficulty, we can always make the choice to do what is right and just.
Thank You!
In addition to our special Mass on Monday, we also celebrated our 5th Annual Day of Giving. We raised $11,000 to support our school’s mission of building a strong community and creating saints and scholars. Thank you to all who contributed! We are so grateful for your continued support!
Grandparents Day
We are so excited to have many grandparents and VIPs join us for the morning on Tuesday, November 25th. We are currently expecting over 300 guests. Please check in with your grandparents if they plan to attend and make sure they have RSVPed, or help them out by RSVPing here. We would like to have all RSVPs in by Monday, 11/10 to help with our planning. Here’s the invitation as well in case you need another copy of the details. Thank you!
End of 1st Trimester
As a reminder, the first trimester ends next Friday, November 14th. Report Cards will be sent home Friday, November 21st. Please remind your child to turn in any missing work and continue to do their best academically and behaviorally so they can end the trimester on a high note!
Vocations Awareness Week
This week is Vocations Awareness Week! Throughout the week, Sr. Maria has visited all classrooms to talk more about vocations. We are blessed to have her as a resource for our students! Additionally, our 2nd-8th grade students are participating in the “Adopt A Seminarian” program again this year. Through this program, they will be praying for a specific seminarian as well as for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Open House
On Wednesday, November 12th, we will be hosting an Open House from 5-7pm. If you have a neighbor, friend, or relative considering Catholic education for next year, encourage them to join us and learn more about All Saints! Walk-ins are always welcome, or families can sign up in advance by clicking here.
Look for an email early next week with more information about the re-enrollment process for returning families as well as information on enrolling new siblings.

Lunch Reminder
We have seen an increase in families dropping off lunch for their children lately, including fast food. As a reminder, fast food is not allowed at lunch time. We know that mornings get busy and sometimes dropping off lunch is necessary, but we ask you to make every attempt to send lunch with your child in the morning, as we do not always have staff available to deliver lunches to the cafeteria. Thank you for your assistance!
