Cardinals Corner | Edition 3| September 5, 2019
A WORD FROM OUR FESTIVAL CHAIRS

Dear SRL Families,

In this sweltering September heat we would like to turn your thoughts to cooler days when all things pumpkin take over. To hayride nights and Halloween fun, to…wait for it…DISCO??? This year’s Halloween Festival theme is Monster Disco, “can you dig it”? Our annual family-friendly, community-wide festival is one of our biggest fundraising events of the year and this year’s festival brings an extra special fundraising opportunity. It’s truly “outta sight”! Raffle Sales will be the ticket. If we meet (or exceed) our Raffle Sales goal of $65,000 we will be more than halfway to being able to name the Music Room in our new building! Can we get a “Dy-No-Mite”? We can think of no better way for our children to truly feel that they too have played a big part and have contributed to the campaign to build their new home. Please help us and our 2019-2020 Cardinals reach this goal by “doing the hustle” and selling those raffle tickets! In closing, we would like to thank each and every one of you for all that you do each year to make our Halloween Festival a success. Your generosity never ceases to amaze us. Your gifts of time and talent are so appreciated! We look forward to seeing all of you enjoy a little Disco Magic with us this October, after all “We Are Family”!

Live the day!

With Gratitude,

Catie Donohue, Jessica Lucas and Tyann Casady
Welcome to Sixth Grade!

This morning, Middle School students new to St. Rose were recognized during the Bible presentation Liturgy. During the service, students received a special blessing, and were presented with a Holy Bible to use through Middle School and beyond.

Parents are always invited to join our special celebrations, as it is the family who provides the primary guidance in faith formation. Standing behind students during the blessing, parents were also encouraged to join them during the presentation of their Holy Bible.
