Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Weeks is here!! Sir Ted says it's time to celebrate. January 31st to February 4th.

A copy of the schedule went out last Friday in students backpacks. 

We will begin Catholics Schools Week with Mass on Sunday 1/30. 

Please refer to the email Mrs. Williamson sent Tue 1/25 for more details.

"We would ask that all of our students wear their uniforms to church this weekend, regardless of which church you attend.

At St. Mary’s, we are targeting the 9:30 and 11:00 Masses to try to have a good number of students dressed in uniform with their families. In addition, we will have some students saying a few words, serving Mass and taking up the collection.

Any student whose parent states in a note or email that the child(ren) wore their uniform to church, will be allowed to participate in a special “spirit day” scheduled after Catholic Schools Week."
