Happy Wednesday!    Thank you all for continuing to drive safely and model patience and kindness during this wild, wet, and windy weather. We are looking forward to the sun making an appearance more often!  As March is coming to an end and we prepare for Easter, many people have asked why the date of Easter changes. The date changes but always falls on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25. Easter, in the Roman Catholic Church is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Click here for more information about the date of Easter.   8th grade Spring Art  Thank you to everyone for supporting our students' First Holy Communion.  Thank you to Father Rick and the STM Church staff for all your support and kindness.
