Lenten Penance Services

Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. In confession we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. During this Lenten season you will find many opportunities for confession near by.

Monday, March 20 7-9 PM - St. Patrick's in Ripon

Tuesday, March 21 7-9 PM - St. Bernard's in Tracy

Wednesday, March 22 7-9 PM - St. Anthony's in Manteca

Thursday, March 23 7-9 PM - Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lathrop

Yearbook - Last Chance

This is your last chance to order Yearbooks. All orders must be placed by March 31. You can order in the office or online at www.yearbookordercenter.com and use order number 17565. We are not anticipating ordering extra yearbooks, so place your orders ASAP.

Priority Registration through March 31

Priority Registration is now open for Kindergarten through 8th grades.

Why register so early for next year? The end of the school year comes up fast. We will need to begin budgeting, purchasing curriculum and figuring out staffing for next year very soon. Without early knowledge, it makes it impossible to do the "business of the school".
Why is priority registration so long? So families with multiple students can spread out their enrollment fees. In fact we encourage this.
Can I still register after March 31? Of course you are able to register after March 31. However keep in mind that you may have forfeited your spot in the class by waiting. You will also be assessed a late fee.
What if I am not able to pay the registration fee by March 31? Let Kelly Meyer know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so we can assist you with the many tools we have at our disposal. The longer you wait, the less tools we are able to help you with.

After March 31 enrollment will be considered on a first come - first served basis. For any questions, contact Kelly Meyer at kelly.meyer@sasmanteca.org
