QAS School Council
The QAS School Council acts as an advisory council to the Pastor and Principal
in school matters. Subcommittees such as Finance, Long Range Planning, and
Public Relations report their findings to the whole Council, Pastor, and
Principal. The Council participates in the Archdiocesan Principal Performance
Review Process. They also review and advise on the school budget, tuition rates,
and other sources of financing. The Council meets once a month on the third
Tuesday of the month from September through May plus additional Committee
meetings as necessary.

QASPA
QASPA
The mission of Queen of All Saints Parent Association (QASPA) is to support
the role and responsibilities of parents as the primary educators of their
children in Christian values and principles; to facilitate communication,
service opportunities and assistance from parents to the parish, school,
religious education and staff; and, to enhance communication and
socialization among parents and facilitate social activities for parents
and their families.
QASPA is a parish-wide organization which sponsors many activities and
events throughout the year from parent/child outings like the Father/Son
Bike Ride to grade level and family masses and receptions throughout the
year. QASPA also sponsors many school activities for the children such as
special lunch days and the annual talent show, plus many holiday events
such as Candles and Carols. QASPA publishes the parent directory for school
and religious education, as well as quarterly newsletters to keep all
parents informed of events that have recently occurred and those that are
coming up. Finally, QASPA sponsors the semi-annual teacher/religious
education funds and all teacher appreciation luncheons.
The QASPA Board meets the first Monday of each month to update Board Members
on recent events, plan for upcoming events and exchange ideas for new events
and activities. Each event that is sponsored by QASPA is developed and
executed by two to five Board Members, along with any other parent
volunteers who express an interest in helping on specific activities.
This organization is for all Queen of All Saints parents! If anyone is
interested in volunteering to help with any events, has any questions or
suggestions regarding QASPA or would like to join the Board, please contact
any QASPA Board Member. QASPA provides an ideal opportunity to meet and work
with other parents in the parish.
Contact: a QASPA Board member or call the school at (773) 736-0567.

Respect Life
At Queen of All Saints, the Respect Life ministry is involved in projects either
with the parish or the archdiocese. These projects are generally initiated by
the archdiocesan Respect Life Office.
"The most fundamental building block of a just social order is respect for
human life. Until men and women individually and collectively make a
profound commitment to the value and dignity of all human life, we will
never find the true peace, justice and reconciliation God desires for us."
(Standing for the Unborn, statement by the Jesuit Conference Board,
March 25, 2003)
