As we enter November, we are reminded of those in our families who have gone before us. As a celebration of their lives, we will have Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) kits available for pick up in the CCD office.  Originally celebrated in southern and central Mexico, Dia de los Muertos has spread to be observed in the United States.  It combines pre-Hispanic rituals that honor deceased relatives with the Catholic traditions of All Saint's Day and All Souls' Day.  With pictures, flowers and mementos, families share their memories of their loved ones creating a beautiful space to honor them.  Kits will be available for pick up after CCD in the school building or during the week in the rectory.

Welcome Fall!  This is a wonderfully beautiful season to celebrate our families and friends. With Covid, it's been difficult for a lot of people.  But difficult times allow us to be more generous with our time and energy. We can help others by doing little  acts of kindness.

We are in full swing with CCD, both hybrid in class and in our homeschool program.  Thank you all for making the strange year work.  I wanted to share with you two collection events we will be having through November 15. 

Dressing His Blessings: Dressing His Blessings is a movement to gift children's Christmas outfits to struggling families. As her Confirmation service project, Allison Caproni will be collecting donated newborn to teen outfits now through November 15th. Items can be brought to the drop box outside the school CCD Office or to the labeled  bin under the table  on the rectory porch. Please Click here to see the flyer for more information. 

Meals on Wheels Emergency kits: Each year our CCD classes bring in items to create emergency kits for the clients of Meals on Wheels.  Coordinated by 6th grade teacher, Suzanne Blue, each class is asked to bring food items or toiletries for the kits.  Please  click here to see the flyer for grade specific requested items.  Items can be brought to the drop box outside CCD office in the school during session hours or to the labeled bin under the table on the rectory porch during the week.
