All Saints’ Centennial
Celebrating 100 years of All Saints’
1925 - 2025
As we embark on All Saints’ Centennial, we seek to honor those who planted All Saints’ Parish, all who have passed through, all who have given of their lives, and all who received grace from this church community.
Our All Saints’ Centennial celebrations will deepen our faith, strengthen our relationships, and positively impact our wider community.

What are the finances of the Centennial, and how are they being handled?
In preparing for our Centennial, the Centennial committee was mindful of the current climate and fiscal challenges of the church. Our goal was to create Centennial programming to include our current congregation, invite past parishioners to reconnect with us, while growing the membership of our church. Therefore, our programming was designed to be right-sized and reflective of the current state of our church. The general operating budget of the parish will not be used to fund Centennial expenses.
The expense budget for all Centennial Programming is $150,000. The costs of our Centennial programming and events are being underwritten by generous contributions from a small group of parishioners, and the remaining revenue will be from ticket sales from the Centennial gala and breakfast event, and Centennial book and memorabilia sales.
We have currently raised $90,000 from nine parishioner families to underwrite the costs of the programs. We are deeply grateful for their generous support. Our goal is to secure sufficient underwriting support so that event and ticket costs are accessible to all parishioners. The Centennial Committee looks forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with you and your family.

Upcoming Centennial Events
The All Saints’ Salon
John Tan, Chair
The Centennial year will launch the inaugural season of The All Saints' Salon, a series of events that welcomes the wider public to engage in a spirited inquiry into life’s most compelling questions.
In an intimate setting that encourages conversation, every session brings a cultural thought leader into our midst to delve deeper into subjects that require insightful examination in the spirit of a Parisian salon.
Centennial Music Program Honoring Dr. Craig Phillips
Dayna Roberts, Chair
Enjoy our robust and renowned music program and concert season as we commemorate our milestone anniversary and celebrate Dr. Craig Phillips’ 36 years with All Saints’.
We are thrilled to announce a special service during the Centennial weekend (May 3, 2025) with the premiere of a mass composed by Dr. Phillips in which choir alumni will also perform.
Centennial Community Service Project
Gerrie Maloof, Chair
As we approach our Centennial Year, the Centennial Committee feels that a celebration without a strong service component would be inconsistent with our identity and our legacy. To that end, we are very pleased to announce new partnership opportunities with PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) and Habitat for Humanity.
Founded by our own dear Clair and Rev. Charles Orr, PATH is doing extraordinary work in connecting people to permanent housing and providing supportive services for our homeless population. More information will be forthcoming about partnership opportunities with this vital ministry!
Whether you volunteer once or become a regular part of our service project, All Saints’ is committed to building our community while helping those in need.
Centennial Oral History Project
Every parishioner has a story about how their lives have been touched by All Saints'. The collective fabric of those stories makes All Saints' what it is today. We will be collecting your video memories in the form of a time capsule for future generations. Stay tuned for details!
