My Dear Parishioners And Friends Of All Saints,
Blessings from our Lord be with you all. Thank you for your love for all Saints Catholic church and school, especially with your faithful stewardship way of life, including your attendance at Holy Masses and financial contributions. By now, every registered family should have received their Up To Date contribution statement to All Saints. If you have not received your letter in the mail, please contact the church office so that we can update your address. If you have not registered with us yet, please join us so that together we can be a team to serve our Lord in each other. Also, included in your letter was the church and school’s fiscal year financial statement for your viewing. This financial statement has been reported to the diocese for their annual viewing and editing if needed. As usual, we are required to report to the diocese all the financial contribution/collection as well as to tithe 10 percent of the total collection to the diocese, plus another 7.5 percent to the diocese to support Catholic education, especially to the two high schools and low-income parishes in Wichita. As you can tell in our bulletin, we have never met our weekly budget. This budgeted amount was established in 2018 as a guide for the parishioners to work toward. Please pray for me so that I will always be wise with your contribution and able to pay our bills for our church and school. I want to thank everyone for your faith in God and your financial support to the mission of the Catholic Church at All Saints as well as of the diocese and the global church. I can only encourage you to tithe and tithe faithfully to All Saints so that we can continue evangelizing and providing Catholic education to our children. FYI—soon the parish will be using Legacy Bank as our bank for our church and school’s banking. Legacy Bank is a Catholic family-owned bank that has done many good deeds as well as providing many wonderful services to the church. Every family is recommended to use our direct deposit/ACH banking system to help the parish save money from buying and shipping envelopes to your home. Church’s Directory: Please sign up to have your family picture taken on November 24th-25th—in the school. These are the only dates available. The 8x10 professional picture is free to you and to any family, including families that don't belong to our church or school. Please encourage your loved ones and neighbors to take this opportunity for a free family picture. No one must buy any picture if he/she wishes not to. Again, thank you to all those who joined us for the Marian Days celebration. It was so fun and so many people came to All Saints church and school. Thank you to all those who loved All Saints and helped us celebrate our Catholic faith and share our time, talents, and treasures with others. We are spreading the good news of God’s love with each other and helping others to be loved and to be thankful. Thank you all for your generous gift of time, talent and treasure that made this event possible. Jesus loves us all, Fr. Hien All Saints Parishioners,
I love you all and God bless you all. Thank you to all those who joined us for the Marian Days celebration last weekend. It was so fun and so many people, about seven thousand, came to All Saints church and school. The Holy Mass was so beautiful, and the procession was great. Thank you to all those who loved All Saints and helped us celebrate our Catholic faith and shared our time, talents, and treasures with others. We are spreading the good news of God’s love with each other and helping others to be loved and to be thankful. Everyone who came to the celebration was amazed from A to Z, including the meal we fed them. Yes, we provided more than they could eat. There were so many people that we ran out of parking lots for them. A special thank you to our Knights for cooking the meat for us and the ladies of the parish for providing dessert. Thank you to the All Saints Dragon Team for entertaining everyone, especially the kids. Yes, kids are blessed with talents, and they love to share. I am very proud of our children and all those who are helping with this large gathering. Thank you all for your generous gift of your time, talent and treasure that made this event possible. Finally, please sign up to have your family picture taken on November 24th-25th—in the school. The 8x10 professional picture is free to you and to any family, including families that don't belong to our church or school. Please encourage your loved ones and neighbors to take this opportunity for a free family picture. No one must buy any picture if he/she wishes not to. Jesus loves us all, and I love you too, Fr. Hien My Dear Parishioners, I love you all and may our Blessed Mother Mary continue praying and leading us to her beloved Son Jesus, so that we all may have life eternally in heaven. Please know that this month of October is the month of the rosary, praying to Mother Mary for the salvation of all souls, especially the souls of our deceased families and friends. It was Jesus who entrusted His beloved Mother to us as our spiritual Mother, to love us, to pray for us until we are all in heaven with Her. For this reason, God has been sending Mary to countless places throughout the world, places that have been identified and places that have not, so that she could bring God’s promise of divine love and salvation to all humankind. Mary is God’s instrument of His divine mercy, love, forgiveness, peace, and eternal life. Did you know that Mary also appeared in Vietnam to strengthen the Vietnamese Catholics during their many decades of persecution? Yes, our church of All Saints holds a special statue of Mary, our Lady of Lavang, so anyone can come to Mary for her intercession and love. Thank you: A special thanks to our Bishop Kemme, many guest priests and sisters from Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, as well as thousands of people who are coming to All Saints, to celebrate our Catholic faith and to give our devotion and honor to our beloved Mother Mary at this Saturday’s special 3pm Mass and procession. It will be a beautiful gathering in church and celebration of our faith with our bishop. We, the people of All Saints Catholic church and school, are well loved because of our Catholic faith and our hospitality and service to one another, including toward those who are not Catholic. I am very proud of our children and all those who are helping with this large gathering. Thank you all for your generous gift of your time, talent and treasure that made this event possible. Finally, please sign up to have your family picture taken on November 1st-2nd—in the K of C hall, and finally 24th-25th—in the school. Your family picture will be ready for you and your family before Christmas. The 8x10 professional picture is free to you and to any family, including families that don't belong to our church or school. Please encourage your loved ones and neighbors to take this opportunity for a free family picture. No one must buy any picture if he/she wishes not to. Jesus loves us all, and I love you too, Fr. Hien My Dear Parishioners,
First, please sign up to have your family picture taken on October 6th-7th—in the school, or November 1st-2nd—in the K of C hall, and finally 24th-25th—in the school. Your family picture will be ready for you and your family before Christmas. The 8x10 professional picture is free to you and to any family, including families that don't belong to our church or school. Please encourage your loved ones and neighbors to take this opportunity for a free family picture. No one has to buy any picture if he/she wishes not to. Second, Saturday, October 7th is our All Saints Marian Day. Everyone is welcome to join us and our school for lots of free fun activities beginning at 3pm Friday and all day Saturday. Please note that the 4pm Mass on this Saturday will be at 3pm, followed by the Eucharistic procession with the statue of Mary. Bishop Kemme will be the celebrant for Mass and the procession. There will be many guest priests and religious sisters from out of state who will join us too. We will provide free dinner to everyone outdoors with a music concert. Finally, all the heating and air units have been delivered to the school. All the rooftop units are installed, and the workers are connecting the electrical and gas lines. The roofers are doing their job also. The excavator was here excavating the northeast corner of the gym for the new electrical line. This means that the school will have its own power line instead of using the current power line from the church. When the weather is good, the workers work outside and when it’s not then they will be working inside to install other heating units for the school cafeteria, the gym, the kitchen by the gym, and the nearby restroom and hallways. Also, the roofers have replaced the east section of the school roof and it’s beautiful. Now, they are working at the north hall way and the St. Agnes room. Let us ask God’s blessings upon all those who have loved us and served us with their time, talents and treasures, including our teachers, staff, volunteers and hvac people and roofers. Jesus loves us all, and I love you too, Fr. Hien |
