Mrs. Lake's Weekly Update
January 21, 2024
Dear All Saints Families,
Our students are in for an exciting week as we welcome Bishop Deeley to our school on Wednesday and the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia on Friday. Bishop Deeley will visit with students from 10 - 2 starting at Saint Mary's campus and ending at Saint John's Campus. The students have been busy preparing special gifts and activities to share with the Bishop as he visits each grade. Mass will still be celebrated on Wednesday this week. However, it will be at 8:30 am for students at Saint John's Campus in order to accommodate the schedule we have with the Bishop.
The Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia, graciously agreed to come to Bangor a day early in order to visit the school and our students on Friday. Their visit will also start at Saint Mary's campus and run from about 10 - 2. The Sisters of Saint Cecilia will meet with groups of classes at the same time, presenting them with songs, stories and accounts of their journeys of being nuns. Please follow the link below to learn more about this particular order of Sisters.
