STM Newsletter for March 31, 2021

View this email in your browser March 31, 2021 Dear STM Families,  Easter is the most important liturgical season for Catholics. On Easter Sunday, we celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead. We recall Jesus's victory over sin and death that allows for the salvation for all mankind. It is God's greatest act of love to willingly die for our sins.  Easter Sunday Prayer Lord God, You loved this world so much, that you gave your one and only Son,  That we might be called your children too.  Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace of Easter Sunday, everyday.  Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice.  Let us have eyes that look upon Your grace and rejoice in our salvation. Help us to walk in that mighty grace and tell your good news to the world.  All for your glory do we pray, Lord, Amen.

Protocols for masking, distancing and mixing with people outside of your immediate family still need to be followed. The San Francisco Department of Public Health still recommends that we refrain from non-essential travel of more than 120 miles outside of your residence but they have lifted the requirement to quarantine following travel. However, if your activities put you or others at risk for COVID-19 infection we ask that you consider self-quarantining for 10 days following your return.
