Happy Halloween, Sailors! 🎃

We hope everyone enjoys a fun (and safe!) night of trick-or-treating and celebrating with family and friends. We can’t wait to see you all at one of our All Souls Day Masses on Sunday as we come together in prayer and remembrance.

Afterwards, be sure to head over to cheer on our 8th Grade class at their Flag Football game against St. Paul—it’s sure to be a great matchup! And finally, a quick reminder to sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences if you haven’t already. We’re looking forward to connecting with each of you soon!
