The Countdown is on - only 2 days to North Texas Giving Day!
North Texas Giving Day
Thursday, September 17th
6:00am - Midnight
This year the money raised on Thursday, September 17th will be used to provide air conditioning & heat to the 1st - 3rd grade hallway & the 4th - 6th grade hallway. Last year, SAS raised $75,000 on North Texas Giving Day.
Your
donation will benefit all of our students. Bonus funds and rewards will be randomly awarded to organizations throughout the 18 hours of giving.
Remember, this is not an Annual Fund donation. North Texas Giving Day will not allow anything to be given to the donor in return for a donation. For example, with an $1800 donation, you would normally receive a table at the Auction. North Texas Giving Day does not allow us to do this. For that reason, we had to make North Texas Giving day a separate fundraiser. Please prayerfully consider making a donation to both North Texas Giving Day and the Annual Fund.
As always, thank you for everything you do to make our school such a wonderful faith-filled community.

Spiritual Lending Library
|
Did you know our school has a Spiritual Lending Library with faith-based books available to all parents?
Many Catholics don't know Mary as well as they should. Do you know the Church's five essential Marian doctrines, and how they're rooted in Scripture and Sacred Tradition? Can you explain the difference between the Immaculate Conception and the Virgin Birth? Or share the messages and secrets of Mary's most famous apparitions?
Check out
Meet Mary, by Mark Miravalle, from our Spiritual Lending Library in the school's lobby. You will learn everything the Bible says about her, what the early Christians believed, and all of the Church's key Marian teachings
over the
past 2,000 years.
Soon, you will turn to Mary with your cares and joys; in sorrows you'll experience her gentle embrace. You'll also become a better disciple of Jesus, for the Son commands us to imitate him in all things - including perfect love of his mother.

Please send your Annual Fund pledge card to the office. REMEMBER all gifts matter and make a difference in our participation percentage. If any parent or grandparent knows someone at a foundation or corporation that might consider making a donation to SAS, please call Rose Hall, SAS Development Director, at 817-292-4355 or send her an
email.
Thank you so much.

"Dear brothers and sisters, a true missionary is passionate for the Gospel. Saint Paul said: "Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel!" (1 Cor 9:16). The Gospel is the source of joy, liberation and salvation for all men and women. The Church is aware of this gift, and therefore she ceaselessly proclaims to everyone "what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes" (1 Jn 1:1). The mission of the servants of the Word - bishops, priests, religious and laity - is to allow everyone, without exception, to enter into a personal relationship with Christ. In the full range of the Church's missionary activity, all the faithful are called to live their baptismal commitment to the fullest, in accordance with the personal situation of each." (Pope Francis, message for World Mission Sunday 2015)
