Growing In Faith by Ruth Pera, Faith Formation Coordinator

The month of May is arguably the most delightful month of the year – the weather is great, trees are budding and flowers are blooming, the school year is ending, summertime awaits!  But it is also one of the busiest months of the year, its days filled with sacraments, end-of-the-school-year events, graduations, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and family celebrations!

Our NEW GATHER hymnals are here – and we will be starting to use them the weekend of May 11th and 12th.

For those who want to keep a piece of SMOS history, parish music lovers can obtain a souvenir copy of the OLD GATHER hymnal – either unsigned or in a “special edition” (signed by the church’s music director and/or other ‘celebrities’ from the church).

On Thursday, May 2, thirty-nine young parishioners celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation and completed their initiation into the Catholic Church. Congratulations to our SMOS Confirmands for 2024!

In this week’s column, Maggie promises not to deny service to a parental techie who wants her to download the deets about Dragon’s Grove 2.0. The answer is as simple as ABC, but explaining this alpha-bet soup to a beta-loving dad proves that Maggie can put the AI in sAInt!

Please join us in the Church Hall for our annual Spring Middle School Choir/Violin concert. Featuring St. Margaret’s School 6th-8th Grade students. All are welcome!

Every parent received an email from Mr. Holley with a request to complete the End-of-Year Parent Survey.  The School Board takes your feedback very seriously, and will use it in their planning for the upcoming school year.   They request each family to complete one survey for every child at SMOS.  The survey will be open until Friday, May 17, but don’t delay, just take it today!  

Teacher Appreciation Week for 2024 runs from May 6th-10th.  The PTA has a full week of celebrations planned for our amazing staff members, but we could use your help!

Congratulations to the School families and parents who won this year’s Dragon Raffle!

Lots going on in Sixth Grade this week! Sixth graders play cards to practice their math and work on building their own helicopters as part of their studies on the Renaissance and Leonardo da Vinci. And in Science, they’re working on a live broadcast project as part of their unit on weather and climate – plus recording data for a published paper.

Happy May! Traditionally we celebrate Mary throughout the month of May. Have you thought about how you would like to celebrate with your family this year? Read on for some ideas…
