Chapel
Sacred Heart Chapel is the place of liturgical worship for the students of All Saints School. In it liturgies and paralitugies are celebrated commemorating the holydays or other significant feasts throughout the church year. Choir The students of grades 4-5-6 are invited to participate in the All Saints School choir. A few seventh and eighth grade students choose to remain in choir if their schedules permit. Choir meets for practice once a week - Wednesday from 1:20 to 2:00. The choir participates in all liturgies and paraliturgies held throughout the school year. Sr. Veronica is the choir director. Eucharistic Adoration Each class visits the chapel on the first Friday of each month for Eucharistic Adoration. Priests All Saints School is blessed to have the priests from St. John Vianney visit the school each week. They also officiate at our liturgies and paraliturgies. Father Tom Johns, our pastor, teaches the second, third and fourth graders. They enjoy his stories and Father has a knack for getting them thinking. Father Peter Morris teaches the seventh and eight graders and Father Clyde Foster teaches in fifth and sixth grade. Our kindergarten and first grade students are visited by Mrs. Mary Kovach, who is a pastoral associate at St. John Vianney. Father Steve Breck, from St. Mary Magdalene and Father Kevin Liebhardt, from St. Justin Martyr also visit when they can. The children continue to pray for our priests and thank God for sending such wonderful people to serve our parish and school. Service Projects There are many service projects available to our students. We have several food drives throughout the year to help the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The students also make cards and signs for men and women on retreat and those in need. The Jr. High students are required to complete service hours. (Grade 6 - 6 hours, Grade 7 - 10 hours and Grade 8 - 14 hours.) |
Sister Veronica
Sister Veronica is the Religion and Liturgy coordinator for All Saints School. She teaches Grades 1 through 5 once a week. The students learn liturgical vocabulary, Bible study and are prepared for feasts in the liturgical year. Sister is the Jr. High Religion teacher. She meets with them daily. Sister Veronica also serves as the school's choir director. Father Robert Kline All Saints of St. John Vianney School was founded by Father Kline in 1977. There are so many stories and memories that can be shared about this special priest. The children loved having him visit and teach in their classrooms. His religion lessons touched their lives. He enjoyed talking to the kids and told them corny jokes but he most especially loved saying Mass at school and giving the children the sacraments. Celebrating Father’s 50th and 60th ordination anniversaries were two very special days at All Saints. He was very involved with athletics, played all sports and enjoyed the sportsmanship. Fr. Kline passed away on June 24, 2011. He will be remembered as being a good and faithful servant!
