January 2017 
35 years and counting.......
2017 marks All Saints 35th year. All Saints School came into existence in 1982, a merger between St. Elizabeth Parish School and St. Paul's Parish School. The present building was at one time St. Paul's School. In 2004, St. Patrick's merged into All Saints School. Van de Vyver school served students for 50+ years from 1910 to 1969. Some of its families' subsequent generations have gone on to attend All Saints.

For a combined total of 300 years these four parish schools eq uipped thousands of young people with the best tools possible to prepare them for their future role as faithful Christians, responsible citizens, productive professionals and caring employees. All Saints is proud to continue this tradition.

At a time when, unfortunately, more Catholic schools are closing than opening, we are grateful to all who have supported us for these three and half decades and we look forward to serving families for many decades to come.
