NHS Blood Drive November 5
The National Honor Society (NHS) will be hosting an American Red Cross blood drive on Tuesday, November 5, in the Don Bosco gym from noon to 6 PM. Walk-ins are accepted, but scheduled appointments are preferred. Sign up by visiting our direct link on the Red Cross website or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. We are grateful for a community that is generous in their commitment to donating blood regularly. It is a gift that saves lives.
All Saints Day November 1
Every year the Church celebrates the feast of All Saints Day on November 1. We celebrate All Saints Day to recognize the lives of the saints who have gone before us. The saints help inspire us to live holy lives and know Jesus more deeply. Students will learn about the saints by attending the Saint Fair hosted by our sophomore class.
Have you noticed the Saints around our schools? If you have been through Immaculate Conception or Don Bosco this fall, you may have seen a plaque above each classroom door. Each room has been assigned a patron saint. Throughout the year, students will learn about their classroom saint. The next year they will learn about a new saint! Many classrooms have already had parties to celebrate their Saints' feast days! Stay tuned as we share more fun with our saints throughout the year! Make sure you ask your child about their class’s Saint!
Mrs. Zimmerman’s class celebrated their Saint’s feast day with treats and watching a video about their her life!
Vocation Awareness Week November 3-9
During this week we intentionally pray for priests and those in the religious life. We also pray for the increase of vocations to the priesthood. Don't forget to thank a priest the next time you see him!
Throughout the week we will be praying for our classroom seminarian as well as learning other prayers to intentionally pray for our priests and those discerning this vocation. If you are looking for a way to intentionally pray as a family for an increase in vocations, sign up for a week with our Vocations crucifix.
