Today's Reading
Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time


The night of the passover was known beforehand to our fathers,
that, with sure knowledge of the oaths in which they put their faith,
they might have courage.
Your people awaited the salvation of the just
and the destruction of their foes.
For when you punished our adversaries,
in this you glorified us whom you had summoned.
For in secret the holy children of the good were offering sacrifice
and putting into effect with one accord the divine institution.

Transportation News
Student Parking Information - Parking Tags available Aug 15th!
Starting this school year, in order to help provide a safe and secure environment for all of our students and their vehicles, there will be some changes in the structure of student parking on campus.

Any student who drives a vehicle to school and parks the vehicle in the student parking lot MUST secure a vehicle registration form BEFORE driving the vehicle to school.  Registration forms for current drivers may be picked up in the main office before school starts or from the Assistant Principal, Mr. Gutilla, after school starts.  The grace period for current drivers to pick-up and turn-in a completed registration form will end on Monday, August 29th.  Those students who secure drivers licenses during the school year can pick up the registration forms directly from Mr. Gutilla.

Upon receipt of the completed registration form the student will receive a numbered Savio student parking tag that must be hung from the rear view mirror of the vehicle.  The cost of student-parking tag is $10.00 and will be issued to the student upon receipt of the completed registration form.  Parking tags will be available starting on Monday, August 15th.  All student vehicles must display the parking tag while parked in the student parking lot.

Booster Club News



2016-2017 St Dominic Savio Booster Club


Check out this flyer with highlights for the year! 


DID YOU KNOW - that Savio does not charge a per sport fee?

Some schools charge fees between $100-$400 per sport not included in tuition. Therefore, multiple kids, more than one sport can add up quickly.  They do this because it costs a lot of money to run an athletic program.  At St Dominic Savio, your booster club membership helps to keep our programs running strong!  It also helps to ensure that every  student is provided access to a Savio sport.  In 2015-2016 we had over 80% of our teams make it to district playoffs or beyond. Five teams sent athletes to State Competitions!

Go Eagles, Cheers for an even stronger 2016-2017!
