My Dear Parishioners,
Blessings from our Lord be with you all.  I want to thank everyone for your faithfulness to God by attending Holy Masses, especially here at All Saints.  Yes, the weather has been super-hot, and we thank God for the new air conditioner system in our church.  Can you imagine no cooling in church? If it had not been for the new HVAC system donated by a good-hearted family to our church, we all would be suffering greatly due to the extreme summer heat.  Please know that it's cooler around the walls of the church than the center area of the church because the air vents are located along the walls; therefore, if it’s too cold for you, please move closer to the altar.  Yes, we are super blessed with our beautiful church that’s always full of faithful Catholics.  Please know that I always enjoy celebrating Holy Mass in our church and with you because of your full participation throughout the Mass.  You are very attentive in listening to the Word of God as well as always praying from your hearts.  Thank you!  The guest priests who celebrated Holy Masses in our church also love our church and the people of All Saints.
Remember, parents, you need to register your kids for the new school year.  Please be sure to pay all your last year's school dues, whether it was latchkey, lunch or registration fees.  All fees must be paid for last school year, 2022-23. The above school fees are not part of your stewardship tithing.  Of course, you are also required to pledge and tithe to All Saints based on your family’s income, and to keep up with your tithe, unless you choose to pay tuition of $5,000 per child.  Please know that you are expected to be faithful stewards with your time, talent and treasure.  Catholic education is a privilege for those who support it by attending Holy Mass and contributing their talents and finances. This school year, it will cost the parish an additional $620-$723 thousand dollars for the new heating and air conditioning system for the entire school.  I am glad to let you know that the HVAC project is going well, and each classroom is installed with an HVAC unit for cooling and heating.  Please parents, grandparents, relatives of our children, benefactors of our church and school, alumni of All Saints, and all good-hearted people, please help us with your contribution so that we can pay for this very important project for the good of so many children today and many years to come.  Every dollar is needed and appreciated. Thank you to so many parishioners for your tithe and generosity to our church and school, and your love, prayers, and financial support, especially our Knights of Columbus with $12,500 given to our school.  Thank you and I love you all, Fr. Hien
