Good afternoon, SPN Family!
I hope this finds you well. Please stay safe during the potential storms this evening, and thank you for taking the time to read our Falcon Newsletter!
All Hallow's Eve Celebration
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made our All Hallow’s Eve celebration at SPN truly unforgettable! With a fantastic turnout, vibrant energy, and incredible support from our PTO, parent volunteers, and parishioners, it was a wonderful community gathering in anticipation of All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
Mass Schedule Update
In observance of All Saints Day this Friday, there will be no 9 AM Mass on Thursday. However, Adoration will still take place from 10 AM to 2 PM. Our school Mass will be the 9 AM All Saints Mass on Friday.
Mass Schedule:
- Thursday, October 31st: All Saints Vigil Mass at 6:30 PM
- Friday, November 1st: All Saints Mass at 9:00 AM & 6:00 PM
- Saturday, November 2nd: All Souls Mass at 10:00 AM
Please note that All Saints Day is a Holy Day of Obligation, honoring all known and unknown saints of the Church. While All Souls Day is not a Holy Day of Obligation, we encourage Catholics to attend Mass and remember all the faithful departed.
Uniform Schedule Change
With the changes in our Mass schedule, students will wear their Team Camacho shirts or regular uniforms on Thursday and their Mass uniforms on Friday.
Art Days with Mr. Garcia
A big thank you to everyone who signed up for Art Days with Mr. Garcia! Our first session on October 23rd was a success, and we’re excited to continue today.
Those who attended the first Art Day are invited back today, October 30th, from 3:30 to 5:30 PM to finish their desks. If you were originally signed up for today’s session, please refrain from attending, as we want to focus on completing the first round of desks.
We will be adding more dates to ensure everyone has two sessions to complete their artwork. Keeping families together for consecutive sessions helps us protect and store the pieces more easily. A Google Doc has been created to make signing up easier. Click HERE to view or signup.
Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to see the amazing creations you’ve worked on!
Continued All Souls Celebrations
It was wonderful to spend All Hallows' Eve with so many Falcon families! In the spirit of our ongoing All Souls celebrations, this Friday, on All Saints Day, the SPN PTO will be gifting each student a Soul Mass Cake (pictured below) and a list of names to pray for during November, known as the Month of the Holy Souls—a time for deep reflection, prayer, and remembrance.
We’ll be sending home a document asking for the names of loved ones you wish to remember, along with a small calendar to help set a prayer schedule. We hope this tradition brings peace and comfort to your family during this busy time.
Additionally, our SPN Religious Art Auction is going wonderfully! We’re grateful to Mr. Garcia and our talented 8th grade girls for creating beautiful pieces to auction. If you haven't had a chance to view or bid on the art yet, don’t worry! The auction will remain open until November 1st at 3:30 PM. The artwork is displayed in the Narthex and will be available during the school Mass on Friday.
Veterans Day Program
Mark your calendars for our Annual Veterans Day Program on Monday, November 11th, at 1:30 PM. We’ll kick off with a cookie social for Veterans and Active Duty Military members at 1:00 PM. Our middle school students will be marching in the Midwest City Veterans Day Parade, followed by performances from our grade school students singing the Armed Forces Medley and other patriotic tunes. We hope to see you there!
Basketball Update
Please note that there will be NO open gym today after school. The deadline for basketball signups is this Friday as we finalize rosters and prepare practice schedules. Stay tuned for more information!
We truly appreciate your ongoing prayers and support!
Pax Christi,
Corky McMullen
