May 2008
During the month of May, our minds and hearts are filled with special affection and appreciation for our own mothers and our heavenly mother, Mary. Both are life-giving, ever present always protecting and guiding us. Let us turn in prayer to our heavenly mother, Mary and ask for special blessings for our mothers living and deceased. Best wishes and prayers are extended to our mothers. We hold you in our hearts and prayers as we pray our decade of the rosary each Wednesday morning.
May Procession
We look forward to all parents joining their children for our May Procession on Tuesday May 13th. This is a beautiful tradition that holds happy memories for any Catholic school student. We ask that children be in their classrooms by 6:45 PM in their Sunday best. (No shorts or sneakers, please). The procession from school will begin at 6:55 PM. Grade 2 will be in Communion attire and Grade 8 in Graduation gowns. Children will return to the classrooms after the crowning and parents may pick them up there.
