Who We Are

The name, All Saints, venerates all of the saints known and unknown who have been raised up by the grace of God and are in possession of eternal salvation in its entirety (beatific vision). It includes both saints who have a particular feast day in the liturgical calendar as well as those who do not.

The name of All Saints emerges as a timely declaration of the strength of our faith as a Catholic school district. The name is first a celebration of every patron saint who intercedes over our school communities. However, the name offers more than just a recollection of individuals. The name offers a unique reminder that we stand together as one in the Lord, called to life through the same baptism, and gifted to fulfill our vocations through the same Spirit. The name of All Saints reminds us that we stand in the company of a ‘great cloud of witnesses’, whose holy and joyous communion with the heavenly hosts inspire us to seek God’s kingdom on earth above all things.

In the daily life of a school community, the name of All Saints guides our Catholic pedagogy in three ways:

• It is a reminder that our learning and growth happens in the context of community

• It is a reminder that our community of learning is rooted in one faith, one Lord, one baptism

• It is a reminder that our vocation as a learning community is to grow in our witness our faith through lives of holy action
