Dear Parents,

The month of October each year is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. Please consider joining us next Wednesday morning as we announce a Mystery of the Rosary and say an Our Father followed by ten Hail Mary's. We will end the decade by saying the Glory Be to the Father. Consider saying a decade of the Rosary as a family during this month as a sign of dedication to Mary our Mother.

As of the latest weigh in, 4th grade is in the lead with 53lbs, 3rd grade is currently in 2nd place with 30lbs and kindergarten is in 3rd place, weighing in with 21lbs.
