Rather than joining me for Parent Prayer tomorrow at 7:55 like normal, please join us for Mass in honor of the Immaculate Conception at 8:15! Tomorrow is a Holy Day of Obligation, and all Catholics are called to spend time with Christ in the Eucharist. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Each year our 1st grade students partner with the Ronald McDonald House here in St. Louis to help support the families who stay there. They collect pop tabs all year, and they create decorations for the houses for the different holidays. Last Thursday, our 1st graders got to take a trip to the Ronald McDonald House located on Park Ave. (about 5 minutes from SMOS!). They toured the facility, learned more about the amenities available for families, and worked on some crafts. It was a great afternoon!
