Parent Student Handbook
The Parent Student Handbook provides a guide for parents, administration, faculty and staff. Students benefit and gain the most when the adults in their lives work together as a team. Making oursevles familiar with the school's procedures and policies will facilitate that teamwork for the benefit of all the students at All Souls Catholic School.
October - Rosary in the Church on Mondays
Parents are invited to attend...
- During the Months of October and May we place an emphasis on praying The Rosary.
- For the month of October, will go to the Church, every Monday afternoon at 2:00 PM to pray the rosary.
- Parents are always welcome!
- Teaching your child to pray The Rosary at home, will help them to have a fuller understanding of why we are praying The Rosary at school in the Church.
- If you're unsure of where to begin, please view the videos by Bishop Robert Barron below.
