School Mass Sunday – December 15th at 9am
Please join us this Sunday, December 15th for School Mass Sunday. We invite students to wear their school uniforms and find Father Luke or Mrs. Lamusga for a ticket for a spirit wear pass (requires 2 tickets- 1 per mass) or a piece of candy. Donuts will be served in the great room following Mass. We are looking for students to read the readings, a family to bring up the gifts, and families to help us with hospitality after Mass. If this week is filled, there are weeks through the rest of the school year. If you would like to sign up to help with this Sunday or any future school Mass Sundays, please sign up at this Sign Up Genius.
