Learn about our many ministries and get involved in parish life!

All Saints Parish is excited to sponsor a Ministry Fair in the Parish Courtyard/PAC on Sunday, September 29, from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM. The goal of the Ministry Fair is to encourage parishioners to join our vibrant parish ministries and get involved in parish life.

Deepen your faith, connect with fellow parishioners, and make a positive impact on the lives of others.

The Ministry Fair will feature a festive atmosphere with music and fellowship. Stop by our information tables to learn more about each ministry, ask questions, and discern how God is calling you to be involved in parish life at All Saints.

We thank everyone already involved in our various ministries and invite others to join our welcoming community in experiencing the joy of serving God and others.

As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
[1 Peter 4:10]

All Saints Music Ministry – Overview

For Adult Faith Formation this fall, All Saints Parish will be offering a 7-session video series entitled “Conversion: Following the Call of Christ. “ This series is by Bishop Robert Barron (Bishop of Winona-Rochester, MN).

In this study series, Bishop Robert Barron illuminates six biblical stories of conversion, demonstrating how six ordinary people, just like you, were met by Jesus where they were and called to a better life through Him. The common theme in each story is the turning of all one’s attention and energy toward an ever deeper, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

In his characteristically energetic style, Bishop Barron explains how conversion is not so much a one-time event, but a life-long process. He explains, “Jesus Christ calls us in thousands of different ways to follow Him, as we strive on the path for spiritual excellence.” Our plan at All Saints is to show these episodes in the Activities Center this fall, on Tuesdays. Deacon Brian Majewski and Fr. Lee will facilitate these sessions. This series is appropriate for adults.

Registration is necessary for all participants so that we may pre-order the materials which are used during the sessions. If a spouse attends with you, then only one registration form and fee needs to be submitted.

• Registrations are due no later than 4:00 PM on Friday, August 23.
• Registrations received on or before August 23, will have a reduced cost of $21.00, as we pre-order materials.
• Registrations received after August 23 will have a cost of $25.00.

We will be meeting at 7:00 PM in the Parish Activities Center.

Tentative Session Guide for Conversion:

• Tuesday. September 10 – 1: Introduction; Bartimaeus
• Tuesday, September17 – 2: The Rich Young Man
• Tuesday, September 24 – 3: Matthew
• Tuesday, October 1 – 4: Jonah

Please note: Dates are subject to change.

Returning Servers:
For existing servers (grades 5-12), there will be a refresher training session on Mon., Sept. 23, 7:00–7:30 pm, to review procedures and learn of any new changes.

Those who are already Altar Servers need to attend this session to remain active. Parents of servers younger than age 13 are asked to remain in the church during the session, which will last about a half hour. Questions? Contact Lynn Pechiney (lpechiney@allsaintsva.org).

What to Expect:
Servers can expect to serve at one or two weekend Masses per month. Mass assignments are based upon each server’s stated preference. When we have more who indicate a preference for a given Mass, then they would not serve as frequently at that Mass. We are in need of servers who would be available for daily Masses as well. Service at daily Mass would be more frequent,

Pass on the Good News of Jesus Christ and our Catholic Faith! This fall, over 1,100 students in kindergarten through grade 12 will take part in Religious Education (RE) classes at All Saints to learn more about their Catholic faith. You can help them learn and grow in faith by becoming a Catechist. With classes offered Sunday morning, Monday evening, and Tuesday evening, there are a variety of days and times to fit your schedule.

All Saints would like to increase the number of students in its in-person classes, so additional catechists and assistants are needed. Registration for classes will begin on July 5, 2023; the only classes that will be open for registration will be those that have a catechist available to teach. As you nurture the faith of the young, you will continue to learn and grow as well! As one long-time catechist put it, “I learn so much from teaching RE!”

To volunteer or find out more, please contact Samantha at swelsh@allsaintsva.org or 571-516-3154.

Note:
Registration for Religious Education (RE) classes for 2023-2024 will begin on July 5, 2023. Registration information and links to the registration forms for in-person RE classes will be available on the RE website allsaintsreligiouseducation.org. All registration will be via online Google forms.

All Saints offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation on the following dates:

• Wednesday, September 4 – 6:30 – 8:00 PM
• Saturday, September 7 – 3:00 – 4:00 PM

First Friday
For the First Friday of each month, we have the following schedule:

Confession – after 7:00 AM Mass
Confession – 7:00 PM
Mass in Spanish – 8:00 PM

Please note that for the morning confessions, once we have posted a sign that the confession line is closed, please do not enter the line. This will allow us to finish those who have already been waiting in line and will allow the priests to finish before the 8:30 AM Mass. One should not miss a part of the Mass (for example, the Liturgy of the Word or the Liturgy of the Eucharist) due to being in Confession. Also, please do not put “placeholders” for a place in line, such as a hymnal on the floor, during Mass. We ask those in line to be considerate of others. Thank you

Todos los Santos ofrece el Sacramento de la Reconciliación en las siguientes fechas:

• Miércoles, 4 de septiembre – 6:30 – 8:00 PM
• Sábado, 7 de septiembre – 3:00 – 4:00 PM

Primer Viernes
Para el primer viernes de cada mes, tenemos el siguiente horario:

Después de la misa de 7:00 AM Confesiones
7:00 pm Confessions
8:00 pm Misa en Español

Tenga en cuenta que para las confesiones de la mañana, una vez que hayamos colocado un letrero de que la línea de confesión está cerrada, no ingrese a la línea. Esto nos ermitirá terminar con aquellos que ya han estado esperando en la fila y permitirá que los sacerdotes terminen antes de la Misa de las 8:30 AM. No se debe perder una parte de la isa (por ejemplo, la Liturgia de la Palabra o la Liturgia de la Eucaristía) por estar en Confesión. Además, no coloque “marcadores de posición” para un lugar en la fila, como un himnario en el piso, durante la misa. Les pedimos a los que están en la fila que sean considerados con los demás. Gracias.

Congratulations! As I announced at Masses, I have great news. The parish has paid off our combined loan of approximately $7,100,000. This loan was taken out for the building of this church building and for the renovation of the old church into the Parish Activities Center (PAC). The approximate costs were (rounded to thousands).

This marks a significant moment for our parish. I am grateful to all who have sacrificed so generously so that we could have these facilities in which to worship God, learn our faith, and work together in charity.

Thanks to Fr. Bob Cilinski, former pastor, who undertook both the building of the church and the renovation of the PAC, to our parish Finance Council, to those who managed and participated in our Capital Campaigns, to all who redeemed their pledges, to the Car Raffle team and all who support the Car Raffle, to those who have supported our monthly Building Fund offertory collections, to our collection count teams, and most of all, to our parishioners, both living and deceased, who through many years, supported these efforts with prayer, time, talent, and treasure.

May God bless you abundantly!

In Christ,

Fr. Lee Roos, Pastor
