SES Weekly Update!
March 17-21, 2025
Hello SES families! Give thanks for spring- it's almost here!
In this century and in any century,
Our deepest hope, our most tender prayer,
Is that we learn to listen.
May we listen to one another in openness and mercy
May we listen to plants and animals in wonder and respect
May We listen to our own hearts in love and forgiveness
May we listen to God in quietness and awe.
And in this listening,
Which is boundless in its beauty,
May we find the wisdom to cooperate
With a healing spirit, a divine spirit
Who beckons us into peace and community and creativity.
We do not ask for a perfect world.
But we do ask for a better world.
We ask for deep listening.
Jay McDaniel

Parent Council Volunteer Email List
We are needing to boost our parent council community. While we know everyone has busy schedules, we work hard to support our school and facilitate lots of great experiences for our students and we are needing some help. A few of our members who take on a lot of the activities and regularly attend the meetings will no longer have students at St. Elizabeth Seton next year and our attendance has been dwindling. We want this Parent Council to continue to flourish as it has for years so we are looking to you. All of that to say, we want to hear from you on what might bring you to Parent Council. Thank you!
St. Mary's, Sacred Heart Parish Sacraments
Sacraments are physical signs of God's grace living through us. They are a direct link between our physical lives and the divine.
St. Mary's Parish will be offering sessions for any children or families interested in furthering their sacramental journey. If you are wondering about Baptism, Eucharist, or Reconciliation, please check with St. Mary's Parish at 403-347-3114, Sacred Heart Parish at 403-346-2618, or contact the school and we will help you however we can!
Staff Parking
A reminder for parents to refrain from parking in the staff parking lot at the beginning and the end of the day, even just for a few minutes. Parent vehicles have been blocking staff when they arrive and when they try to go home. Thank you for your understanding.
