Just a friendly reminder in the event that you've missed it in the April Bernie's Bark:
It was with great sadness that we watched events unfold in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, and unsuccessful the attempt made at St. Patrick Cathedral, as well as the awful event that occurred at the Poway Synagogue. We are always concerned with student safety, and after much reflection and prayer, Father Tom and I agree that in light of recent attacks on houses of worship, we will lock the church doors during student Mass, and other student events that take place in the church. If you are able to attend student Mass, please be aware that the
church doors will be locked at 9:30am
.
**Please keep in mind that all school Masses, graduations, and events held in the church will follow these guidelines.
We appreciate your support!**
