St. Emily and St. Thomas Becket Parishes October 15, 2019
Dear Families,
October is Respect Life Month. We are sending home baby bottles with the students tomorrow night. (We're really going to hand them out, this time.) Fill them up with change and bring them back by
October 30. The funds go to Aid for Women, which provides necessities, as well as housing to women in crisis pregnancies.
We have an opening for a aide in a First Year classroom. If you would like to explore this opportunity, please let Cathy Crino know. (Aides receive a break on tuition.)
The easiest way for you to
report an absence is to
fill out this online form. You can do it from your phone, it takes only a second. Of course, we hope that your student is not absent, as continuity is very important for a class that only meets weekly.
St. Emily Women's Club is having their
annual coat drive after the Saturday evening Mass on November 2, and after all the morning Masses on Sunday, November 3.
We will be collecting clean winter coats and jackets, as well as new gloves, mittens, scarves for men, women and children.
Join us on Wednesdays at 6:15 PM
to find the real answers to questions
Come to Alpha.
It can't be simpler. Drop off your kids in the gym and come into the school faculty room to explore the answers to the big questions of life - faith, meaning, God, purpose.
Wednesdays at 6:15 PM in the fall.
