Please pray for the families and friends of our SMM community who have asked for our prayers. If you would like us to pray for a loved one, please send Coach Gay an email: gknock@saintmm.org.

For the repose of the soul of Michele Wolkins (the Bacon girls' grandmother); for her family and friends; and for all those who mourn her loss.

For our SMM students and Families and all others whose lives and health have been impacted by COVID and Hurricae Ida

For the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, that we may be spared loss of life and property during this hurricane season.

The Fun Run was great fun for the entire school. The students were excited and ready to run. We raised over $43,000, thanks to our generous parents, families, friends, and sponsors. The money will go towards new playground equipment and several water bottle filling stations.

Mr. Collins kissed Tootsie the pig many times today as he promised if the students reached their first goal of $30,000. Since the school exceeded the stretch goal of $40,000, the top two students from each grade level got to slime Mr. Collins and Fr. Dan who were great sports.

THANK YOU SMM PTO! YOU ARE ROCKSTARS!

Student Council is once again sponsoring the collection of bags of individually wrapped candy in support of Peek a Boo at the Zoo. This is an event that the Student Council supports each year. We have been told that SMM donates more candy than any other school in the city!

Students are asked to donate bags of individually wrapped candy for Peek a Boo at the Zoo from October 11th -13th. The proceeds from this event will go to Children's Hospital.

Thank you for your help with this event. It is such a worthy cause.

Thank you to Ms. Jen Rogillio, K-1 teacher assistant, for her beautiful fall creations. She took old pallets and turned them into things of beauty for everyone to enjoy in the car line.

The PJP Football Team and their Coach came to our rescue this morning. They offered to help with car line. It was most fortuitous since we had no bus service today. It was the first time this year that car line ended at 8:00 am. All five of the gentlemen are graduates of SMM pictured below with their former PE teacher and Administrator. Good luck on the field this year. We are cheering for the Jaguars!

L to R: Jacob Mire, Coach Gay, Shawn Riviere, Nick Barone, Eric Homburg, and Coach Phillip Pigott.
