September, 2023. Kindergarten students must turn 5 years of age before December 31, 2023.
You can download an application form from the schools website at qasbc.ca and submit it to the school office. Application forms will also be available at the Open House.
Kindergarten applications should be submitted no later than January 13, 2023.
Interviews for all new students and their families will begin in January.
Project Advance
Our parish campaign has raised $105,000 so far – half of that amount will go to the archbishop, the remainder will be used by the parish to fund additional staff salaries. The 2022 goal is $130,000 so another $25,000 is needed before the end of December.
If you have not already done so, please make your Project Advance donation soon. The easiest way is through the archdiocesan website...
Go to http://projectadvance.ca.
Choose All Saints at the very top of the parish listings then enter your donation amount and means of payment.
Your tax receipt will be emailed to you.
Let us work together to build up a strong and growing All Saints Parish.
