Lots of late arrivals this past week. We are aware that there has been construction on Hefner, so we were lenient with issuing tardies. Please account for the traffic and adjust your leave time and route as needed so you arrive at school by 8am.

We could use a few volunteers next Saturday, Oct. 9th at 9am, to help trim hedges & trees, edge, pick up trash, freshen the planters around the school, etc. Please sign up if you plan to come help or if you would like to donate materials to help beautify the school for fall. It helps us plan when we know how many volunteers we will have.

Bring: Edgers, loppers, chainsaws, etc

Donations wanted: Pumpkins, flat of pansies, mums, kale, etc, potting soil, other fall outdoor decor (please drop off Friday afternoon or Saturday morning by 9am).

You will earn Time & Talent for each hour you volunteer or an hour for every $10 spent. Please report your Time & Talent in FACTS.

Monday, Oct. 4th is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is the patron saint of animals, and many churches offer a blessing of the pets on his feast day. Father Vic will bless your pets at 5:30pm at the soccer field east of the school. If you would like to participate, please bring your pet on a leash or in a carrier by 5:30pm.

Fr. Vic will be looking for students who can answer his challenge questions at school mass on Thursday.

Here's a reminder of what students should try to learn for the coming week.

1. How many Gospels are there? What are they?

2. What are the synoptic Gospels? Why are they called synoptic?

3. What are three principles or criteria to become a disciple of Jesus Christ according to John's Gospel?

4. What are three principles or criteria to become a disciple of Jesus Christ according to the synoptic Gospels?

Good luck, and have a blessed weekend.

Peace in Christ,

Fr. Vic
