The Season of Lent is upon us!

We celebrate Lent over 40 days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday. Lent represents the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness.

As we enter into this holy time we focus on repentance and sacrifice, as Jesus did, to better prepare the faithful for His Resurrection.

We will Bury the Alleluia on Tuesday, February 13th at 2:45pm. Please come and join us. Students and parents will then exit the campus silently.

We will attend an all school mass on Ash Wednesday (February 14th) at 9:00am. Any baptized Catholic student may receive ashes. Children must wear their mass uniform and may sit with their families.

We are so pleased to announce our

Auction Chair: Michele Heitzmann

Marketing/Communications Chair: Cheryl Taylor

Special Events/Projects Co-Chairs: Marty Dodson, Claire Walton Procurement/Sponsorship Co-Chairs: Rachelle Guinto, Sarah Estrada Venue/Event Chair: Lizette Bass

Please contact any of our committee chairs with questions about our upcoming event at auction@sncsgh.org. Mention your topic of inquiry in the email subject line to direct your information to the appropriate person.

Family Procurement - If you have not turned in your procurement form, please do so ASAP. Your total donation needs to be $225. Physical items will need to be delivered on site in a few weeks so keep an eye out for that date if you have not already given the auction team your items.

If you have any questions regarding free dress for this field trip, please email your teacher. Permission slips and payment are due no later than Monday, February 12th.
