A MESSAGE FROM THE SSMO
SUPERIOR GENERAL

 

Dear Families and Friends, 

 

Fall is upon us, and that means: "Soup's On!" Last year as part of our 125th Jubilee celebration, our Community initiated this nutritious event which benefits the Oregon Food Bank. With over 20 restaurants providing samples and with entertainment provided by the elementary and high school music departments, be ready to vote for your favorite soups while listening to the young talent on campus. Recommendation: reserve your ticket online since there are a limited number of tickets. Click here to reserve tickets for the Saturday, Oct. 20 Soup's On. 


In mid-September the SSMO Foundation hosted a wonderful Alumni Weekend. There are more plans being made for future events. Please encourage all alums to provide current contact information to the Alumni/Events Coordinator, Grace Le Chevallier, at glechevallier@ssmoministries.org. Upcoming events are also posted on the Foundation website, www.ssmofoundation.org.
