Through the efforts of the classes of Mrs. Van Dyke, Mrs. Schlattmann, and Mrs. Jean, we were able to send 300 kits home for assembly. Now that they have been returned, we will be gifting them to those who we serve through our pastoral ministries here at All Saints. Catholics who are in hospitals, nursing homes, care facilities, or in prison will be receiving the rosaries. If you are interested in supporting any of these ministries, please contact Aleah in the Parish Office 253-848-2000. If you believe that there is any possibility that you will need financial assistance for the 20152016 school year, you must apply for Fulcrum. Fulcrum is financial assistance that is awarded to Catholic students in the Seattle Archdiocese. In order to be considered for All Saints tuition assistance you must first apply to Fulcrum, even if you don t think you will qualify for Fulcrum. The online application for Fulcrum will be available on Monday, November 3 by going to the following website: https://www.fulcrumfoundation.org/ tuition. The link will be on the All Saints website on the main page beginning Monday, November 3. Once you apply online you will need to print the application confirmation page and turn in the confirmation page as well as a copy of your 2013 income tax paperwork to the school office. If you do not have access to a computer you may make an appointment with Mona and she will help you with the application. Please, be sure to bring your 2013 tax information with you to that meeting. The deadline to turn in your completed applications to the school office is FRIDAY, JANUARY 23. If you have any questions regarding tuition assistance or the application process, please contact Mona Sullivan at 253-286-0025 or msullivan@allsaintsparish.com. If you encountered any difficulty with your rosary, please return it and we will finish it for you. Blessings from Aleah and Carmen.
