There are several sources of financial aid available to Catholic students attending All Saints Catholic School. These include diocesan and parish resources, as described below. It is very important that families complete the appropriate application by the due date for being considered for financial assistance. Please contact All Saints Catholic School office for information.
DioceSAn reSourceS
Bishop Burbidge and Bishop Emeritus Loverde have raised funds to be used for Catholic education at diocesan elementary schools and high schools. When Bishop speaks to the pastors and other priests about support for Catholic education, he does himself what he asks us to do.
Parish assessment for Catholic schools. Each parish of the Arlington Diocese, whether it has a school or not, is assessed annually for funds to be used for tuition assistance for Catholic education. These funds are distributed by the Diocesan Tuition Grant Program, based on need.
PAriSh reSourceS
Gifts: We receive some gifts during the year which are designated by the donor for tuition assistance. A person might give a one-time donation or make a more significant donation to be used as financial aid over a multi-year period.
Planned Giving: You might not have the money to give now, but you can remember All Saints Catholic School in your will. Your bequest will continue your legacy of Catholic education. For those of us who have been the beneficiaries of a Catholic education, this is a way to give back to future generations.
You are invited to consider the needs of All Saints Catholic School. No amount is too small. Consider giving the gift of one year’s full tuition or a partial tuition.
Please pray for all of our benefactors, living and deceased.

Programa de Caridad para Adviento. La oficina de Educación Religiosa ayudará a los estudiantes a prepararse para la temporada de Adviento poniendo en práctica las obras de misericordia.

Los niños pueden traer sus donaciones a su salón de clases durante el mes de diciembre. ¡Gracias por su apoyo a la Despensa de comida Betania!
El Señor es mi pastor, nada me faltará.
Salmo 22
Pregunta de la Semana: Habiendo sido encontrado por la divina misericordia, ¿qué puedo hacer el día de Acción de Gracias y durante el Adviento para buscar a los necesitados? ¿O los tendré ya aquí frente a mí?
Hoy la Iglesia Universal celebra la fiesta de Cristo Rey. Cuando pensamos en la palabra Rey, lo primero que viene a la mente es la idea de poder. Sin embargo, en el caso de Jesucristo, aunque nos desconcierte, cuando se habla de Cristo Rey, hay que hablar de la cruz. Durante su vida pública, Jesucristo no quiso ser proclamado Rey: “La gente entonces, al ver el signo que había hecho, decía: “Éste sí que es el Profeta que tenía que venir al mundo.” Jesús entonces, sabiendo que iban a llevárselo para proclamarlo rey, se retiró otra vez a la montaña él solo (Jn 6, 1-15). Sin embargo, durante su pasión, poco antes de ser crucificado si lo acepta: “Pilato le preguntó: «¿Eres tú el Rey de los judíos?» Él le respondió: «Sí, tú lo dices.»” (Lc 23,3) a tal punto que en la Cruz nos dice el evangelista San Juan: “Pilato redactó también una inscripción y la puso sobre la cruz. Lo escrito era: «Jesús el Nazareno, el Rey de los judíos.»” (Jn 12,19). Cristo aquí se deja proclamar Rey, porque su reinado comienza en la Cruz.
¿Quién es Cristo en mi vida? ¿Es Cristo el centro de mi vida? Quizás podamos pasar nuestros días haciendo muchas cosas, en sí buenas, pero ¿vamos al sagrario? ¿Cuánto tiempo gastamos en oración cada día? ¿Qué lugar ocupa la Eucaristía en mi vida? Quizás tengo tiempo de asistir a misa durante la semana. ¿Lo hago?
Hemos de recordar que como bautizados tenemos la obligación de proclamar a Cristo como Rey, de llevar a Cristo la mayor cantidad de almas, hay que invitar a todos las personas primeramente con nuestro testimonio de vida a que se dejen cautivar por el amor de Cristo Rey, Jesucristo Rey de mi vida. “Mi voluntad es conquistar todo el mundo y todos los enemigos, y así entrar en la gloria de mi Padre. Por tanto, quien quisiera venir Conmigo, ha de trabajar Conmigo, porque siguiéndome en la pena, también Me siga en la gloria” (Ignacio de Loyola, Ejercicios Espirituales).
