Thanks to everyone who has or is selling the WESCO Popcorn Buckets. We've sold over 100 buckets so far! We still have them for sale in the school office if you'd like to purchase or sell them for $12 each. We earn half of the $12 which goes to support our St. Mary's School by helping to reduce the cost of our field trips and general maintenance on our bus. It was nice to see so many families at the Blessing of the Pets on Thursday morning. I hope to see most of our St. Mary's School dads this Friday, October 12th in the Abbey before school at 8:00 am for "Donuts with Dads". All dads (or any other significant father figure) are welcome to bring their St. Mary's School children to this event between 8:00-8:30 am. It would be great if the dads could join us for our Friday School Mass at 9:00 am. Stay dry this weekend. God Bless.
