SCS Happenings: April 23, 2023
Saint Catharine of Siena, pray for us.
From One Wildcat to Another...
Earth Day Prayer
O merciful Creator, your hand is open wide to satisfy the
needs of every living creature: Make us always thankful for
your loving providence; and grant that we, remembering the
account that we must one day give, may be faithful stewards
of your good gifts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with
you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
Thank you for all you do today, tomorrow, and always. Saint Catharine of Siena, pray for us.
Air high fives to all,
Mrs. Marcella Kraycik

SCRIP Program Year began on May 1, 2022 and ends this Sunday, April 30, 2023
In order to keep tuition cost low and to provide subsidy to our school, we have implemented a mandatory fundraising program called SCRIP. If you do not participate in the program or did not meet your quota, the Scrip Fee will be added to your STS account in May.
Thank you to all who supported the Color Run!
SCS Families and Parishioners: Thank you for supporting our 8th Grade Bake Sale. We wouldn't have had such a successful event without your support.
