Dear Parents,

Wednesday our school Mass will be led by our 2nd graders, who have planned a special "Thank you" to God and our school for the support they received in their journey to First Eucharist. Please join us!

This Thursday at 1:30 in the gym we will celebrate our school year with our annual "Spirit day".  Students wear their favorite SFX shirt, and will enjoy activities planned by our Middle school Student Council.  You are welcome to attend and enjoy the special friendships we have built this year.  If you can assist, please sign up using the link found in this memo.

Facing mercy together,

Nathan Wright

 
               
 Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

Join us for our School Eucharistic Congress Wednesday, May 18th:

***School Mass at 9:00
***All day Adoration in the Church

***Presentation at 12:30  Brother Leo from EWTN
