Reflections on All Saints' Day
What does it mean to live a ‘good’ life? How do we know if we are loving others well? Whose lives help us imagine what love looks like? And how do we become, for one another, the kind of people who make the world more compassionate, more just, more loving?

Special Dress Day, All Saints Chapel THIS Wednesday, October 28
For our first Special Dress day, All Saints Chapel on Wednesday, October 28, if your child’s St. Michael’s logoed cobalt blue long-sleeved shirt has not yet arrived, they may wear a non-logoed cobalt blue shirt (preferred) or any other uniform top for this first special dress chapel.
We do ask that all students have the official St. Michael’s logo cobalt blue long-sleeved Special Dress shirt for our Thanksgiving Chapel on November 18.
