Eternal God,
We give you thanks for your saints.
May we learn from their example
and praise you through our words and actions.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
With Halloween just days away, there is much excitement in the air! The students are excited about the costume parade and parties on this fun-filled day. It is important to remember, however, that Halloween is part of the celebration of a Catholic feast day. Halloween, or All Hallows Even, is the eve of All Saints which is celebrated on November 1. On the Solemnity of All Saints, we celebrate all saints in heaven who pray for us and encourage us through their lives.
On Tuesday, November 3rd at 8:30 a.m., Mrs. Lomasto and the third grade class will lead the All School Mass in celebration of All Saints Day. Each student will be dressed as a saint and will briefly present some information about that saint. You are invited to join us for this special Mass.
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo

It is recommended that students bring their uniforms to school on this day in case they are required to change out of their costume.
Coaches Needed!
The spring sports season is a few months away, but we are looking for volunteers to coach the girls’ A and B basketball teams. Coaches need to be Virtus trained and fingerprinted, have a TB test on file in the office, and complete CYO training. Coaches will receive 40 participation hours! If you are available after school for games and practices and can give of your time and talent in this way, please contact Veronica Ferrer at veronicaminc@sbcglobal.net.
