PICS OF THE WEEK!

OUR AFTER SCHOOL OFFERINGS ARE A HUGE HIT!

A rainy start and a gorgeous ending to another great week of school!

Our after school clubs have been a wonderful addition to our Extended Care programming and we are so very grateful for those that have 'stepped up' to assist in this way. Our clubs and activities are only as good as those that are willing to help us make them happen! At the moment, the Drama Club, Chess Club and Computer Science Club are making many of our students very happy! We are open to welcoming other ideas for after school clubs, and encourage creativity and volunteerism if you are interested. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

Have a wonderful long weekend.

Miracles.... experience them, be open to them, & appreciate them!  

We will be welcoming Marian Desroisers, Director of Mission and Catholic Identity for the Catholic Schools Office, to our school this Tuesday, October 11th for a talk on Eucharistic Miracles. On the eve of Blessed Carlos' Feast Day, our middle school students will gather in the school gymnasium for a presentation of the Eucharistic Miracles and their connection to Blessed Carlo and the website that he created to share with the world!

Marian will also offer a presentation on the True Presence for any parents/parishioners that would like to join us at 1pm that day.

Please consider this invitation! 

Acutis House members should plan to wear their FAM House shirts on Wednesday, October 12th, the Feast of Blessed Carlos Acutis! 

Thanks to all who came out on a VERY blustery Sunday to bless our family furry friends! 

St. Francis of Assisi....

pray for us! 

Our first school Mass (with all students!) took place this morning in the gym at 8:10am! It was so wonderful to gather as school community to celebrate the Eucharist, as well as the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary. Our entire student body, even our youngest members, were quiet, reverent, and respectful as Father Ryan celebrated Mass and shared with us miraculous stories of the power of the Rosary! 

Our Lady of the Rosary...

Pray for us!

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14th! 

As you may have heard from your children, '

Celebrate' Auction winner, 

Mr. Max Teixeira served as Principal for the Day on Thursday. 

Both Mr. Teixeira and his chosen Asst. Principal Jacob Antonio certainly realized the numerous "hats" that administration must wear with substitute teaching, running language lab(s), covering recess duties and putting out any unexpected "fires" as they arise! 

From their perspective it was a very busy day, with little chance to have a snack or even have lunch! 

The admin team also announced a Red, Blue or Patriots Gear Dress Down Day on Friday, October 21st, as we gear up to play the Bears on Monday Night Football on the 24th!
