SMP (Sunday Morning Program) SIGN UP

We are expanding by one class this fall. Emily Pappas and Michael Marge are back as teachers and we welcome Amal El Koussa. Plus Nadia Kimmett and Penelope Hilane will be helping.

Starting this Sunday, and whenever class is in session, the younger students will receive communion first and head to the parish hall. The sermon will be given at the end -- this will allow for enough class time before the rest of us arrive in the hall for coffee. The older class will stay for the homily and then head to the office for class.

Make sure you sign your students up for class -- yes, it is likely we already know you but we need your up-to-date info. Click the code above. Use the QR code or just click here.

PARKING It is possible with a repaved road that the Town will only allow parking on one side of the street since the new curbs make the road much narrower. We try and reserve parking spaces on our side of the street for those who need access (please, don't block the curb cut.) We advise parking at the school on Sunday mornings.
