Happy All Saints and All Souls Week!!
November 1st is All Saints Day! We would like your child to dress up as a Saint and share a bit about the life of their chosen Saint. Today they are learning several names, patrons, and basic biographical information about several Saints. Costumes must be able to be worn over school uniforms as they will be in school dress for Mass in the Morning!
November 2nd is All Souls Day. We will be celebrating Mass in the morning and praying for all those who have died.
