ALL ARE INVITED!
| In celebration of All Saints Day, all students in Kindergarten through 8th grades at St. Mary's School will participate at mass on November 1ST. We will begin with a "Parade of Saints" and/or procession into the school gym. The students in grades Kindergarten through 4th will come to school dressed as a saint, while students in grades 5, 7 and 8 will wear name badges with their saint name and symbol on it. The 6th grade which is hosting the mass, will display flags of their chosen saint's name and symbol that they made during art class.
Why: In honor and recognition of All Saints Day, students were given an assignment to research a saint they would like to emulate and learn more about. All Saints Day is an important Holy Day for all Catholics. St. Mary's School has chosen to be a leader in communicating the importance of All Saints Day to the community and hopes this special mass will remind us all to reflect on the significance of the day.
We welcome all parents, grandparents, friends and the community to join us on this Holy Day of Obligation.
