ST. MARY PHOENIX NEWS

This week we lost Bishop Richard Lennon, the 10th Bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland. He retired less than 3 years ago because of illness. Bishop Lennon will be remembered for his deep dedication to the faithful governance of the diocese and a tremendous love of the church and the people he shepherded.

It was a "Spooktacular" Halloween Parade this year with many fun and interesting costumes. Thank you for visiting us on Halloween afternoon to help with the festivities and enjoy the excitement of our children.

Remember, as the weather turns and the temperatures drop, please make sure your children are dressed for the outdoors. We go outside everyday except when it is raining or in the case of high winds. We check the weather right before each recess and if the temperature is above 25 degrees we will be outside. We also watch for wind chill temperatures. Please make sure your children have, hats, coats and gloves.

Mark Your Calendars: If you want to volunteer in the classrooms, drive for field trips or attend field trips you are required to have Virtus Training. Good news, we will be offering training at St.Mary School. Please contact the school for information and how to sign up.

Virtus training will be offered at St. Mary's School on Tuesday, November 12th from 6-9PM.

Please enjoy all of our Halloween Photos!
