Week of September 7, 2018
We kicked off our Education in Virtue program this week. We will be focusing on a Virtue each week during the school year. This week's Virtue was "Affability". Ask your children what this Virtue means and how they exhibited it this week. Next week we will introduce "Patriotism" on Monday morning. We will be recognizing students after Mass on Friday who are demonstrating the weekly Virtue. The list of students will be posted on the St. Mary's School website and Facebook page. We will also display their names in the Gathering Space each week so the parishioners can see them along with the Virtue of the Week.
I'm pleased to announce that Mrs. Carol Payne has accepted the job as Secretary at St. Mary's School. Mrs. Payne has been doing a wonderful job of filling in for Mrs. Mary Peel as she has moved over to Ms. Ann Pendery's Administrative Assistant position. Please welcome Mrs. Payne to St. Mary's School. I would also like to remind you of our Parish Festival being held on Saturday, September 15th, noon until 9:00 pm. There are a few volunteers still needed. You can sign up to volunteer in the Gathering Space. Hopefully you received your envelope of Raffle Tickets to sell. The raffle tickets can be picked up in the Gathering Space or if you need more to sell, Barb Wyant will have them in the Parish Office. To complete our St. Mary's Parish Festival weekend, our St. Mary's School students will be leading Mass on Sunday, September 16th at 11:00 am. All students and families planning to attend should be in their School Mass Uniforms. I hope to see all of you next weekend. Please be sure to read the important news and notes on the bottom of this page. God Bless.
