Our December School Mass will celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, December 8, at 9:15am. We will continue to have some students attend Mass in the Church while others attend via livestream here at school. At this time, parents are still requested to refrain from attending the Mass to comply with health and safety guidelines.
Knights United is very excited to announce that we have come up with a plan to celebrate our 2nd Annual Sir Ted's Light up the Knight! We love celebrating Christmas and are working hard to find safe and fun ways to not let COVID cancel Christmas festivities!
Be on the lookout for a calendar of events that includes an online Gingerbread House contest and a Cutest Christmas Critters Contest! Prizes to be awarded!
The largest and most exciting event that we are planning is a drive thru Christmas light experience on Saturday, Dec. 12th from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm. This light display will take place on St. Mary's School & Church campus and will be open to the greater community as well.
The only thing we need from you is your help. In order to make this event come to life we need as many volunteers as possible to help set up the light displays. This is a large undertaking and if we are not able to get enough help then we will not be able to make this event happen. Please take a look at the sign up and help us hang some lights! We will need all volunteers signed up by Monday, November 23rd. Click here to volunteer.
*Middle School students wishing to volunteer as part of service hours are welcome to attend set-up but SHOULD NOT SIGN UP via the Sign Up Genius. Sign Up Genius is for required number of adult volunteers to run this event.

Jack (Gr.1) and Owen (K) made out their shopping lists
and loaded up their carts with donations for the annual
Jack Bannon Turkey Trot! Thanks, guys, for being
#uKnighted in generous sharing!
Thanks to all who supported the Jack Bannon Turkey Trot by participating in Monday's Spirit Day and donating non-perishables. We had a sizable collection of food for the truck when it arrived this morning.We are also grateful for the many $5 (and more) donations that have made it possible for us to "host" a 2020 version of our annual Senior Citizen Luncheon. We missed hosting all our guests today and having so many of you here cooking and serving but your generosity has helped make this Thanksgiving a much nicer holiday for many!
In keeping with our annual tradition, students
made handmade cards to accompany the lunches!
