Catholic Schools Network

Help Name Our All Saints Catholic Schools Network

(get your vote in by Friday, March 28)

We are excited to share that All Saints Catholic Schools Network is in the process of naming the patron saint for our new middle school. As part of this special milestone, we would like to invite you to participate in this important decision by voting for the Saint you believe would be the most fitting patron for our school community.

After prayerful consideration by our pastors, we have compiled a list of potential Saints, each of whom embodies values such as faith, education, service, and resilience. Your voice matters, and we are eager to hear your thoughts on which Saint would best inspire and guide our students on their journey of academic, spiritual, and personal growth.

To cast your vote, please visit the following link. Please cast your vote by Friday, March 28.

Once the votes are collected, the top two names will be shared with Bishop Folda, who will choose the final Patron Saint for our middle school.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers for All Saints Catholic Schools Network. We are blessed to have such a dedicated parish and school community, and we look forward to seeing how God will work through this exciting new chapter in our school’s history.

Parish Mission

MISSION STATEMENT

We, the Catholics community of St. Mary's Parish, Grand Forks, North Dakota, declared that by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have been set free to live as a worshiping, ministering community which proclaims the Good News of Jesus.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we strive to be responsible witnesses to His presence among us, thus enriching the spiritual life of the community, creating a sense of obligation and passing along Christian values and traditions to our children. By being living sighs of God's love by being of service to one another and to the world, we reach out to spread Gospel values and bring God's kingdom to fulfillment.
