All Saints’ Day at St. Leo School and Parish was a huge success and a great learning experience for parishioners of all ages this year.

In the weeks leading up to the event, each class researched and chose a classroom saint based on their Classical Core time period of study.

For the celebration itself, Fr. Justin coordinated a beautiful display of the Church’s relics and provided explanations of each to the students and staff. A relic usually consists of the physical remains or the personal effects of a saint or venerated persons. Students were able to interact with these relics after the Mass.
