WEDNESDAY'S NEWSLETTER

PICS OF THE WEEK!

A VERY BUSY BLINK OF A WEEK!



An indoor Mass at the school on Tuesday was the decision made due to the questionable temperatures experienced in the mornings! Mass in the gym was wonderfully intimate, and the usual space for eating and playing is literally transformed into holy ground! Our students are so prayerful and reverent, and as usual, Father Ryan delivered a message to our school community that really "hit home". Father's homily summary can be encapsulated in one statement...

We have so much to be grateful for and we should thank God always!

Please enjoy this holiday weekend with your families and loved ones.

We are very grateful for all of our parents, and for the many ways in which you support our students, staff and community. We are blessed beyond measure.

Have a wonderful weekend.

While Thanksgiving is not considered a Holy Day of Obligation, it is certainly a day to give thanks to Almighty God for our countless blessings! Mass at SFX Parish is at 9am on Thanksgiving Day.... come thank Him for all that you have been given!

Father Ryan's childhood friend, Mr. Andrew Thibault got our students pretty psyched about summer and the idea of going to summer camp! Mr. Thibault shared details about Camps Bernadette & Fatima! Flyers were sent home today.. Click here to visit website and reach out with any questions you might have!
