History

Queen of All Saints Church was built in 1910-13 and was designed in the Gothic Revival style by the firm of Reiley & Steinback. The church's school was built at the same time, but the apse of the church and the rectory weren't built until 1915. The parish dates from 1879 and was originally called St. John's Parish.

Queen of All Saints School became an Academy in September 2015

Queen of All Saints Elementary School was opened in 1910 under the direction of Sisters of Saint Joseph. Theresa Attianese was the Principal for 40+ years. She retired in August 2016. Today, it is under the direction and leadership of Mr. Juan Rodriguez as Principal, and Fr. Joseph Ceriello (Pastor of Queen of All Saints) as Administrator, the school continues to serve the members of the parish as well as the people of the surrounding communities.
