This Wednesday, the students celebrated the Miracle of Fatima with a special presentation by Sister Colleen, SSD (middle school Religion teacher). The Miracle of Fatima occurred in 1917 in Portugal, where three shepherd children, Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco, witnessed apparitions of the Virgin Mary over several months culminating in the October 13th "Miracle of the Sun," witnessed by thousands. Lucia, one of the children to whom Mary appeared, joined the Sisters of St. Dorothy, like our own Sister Colleen. Thank you, Sister Colleen, for sharing the stories and pictures of Lucia that brought her to life for our students!

Dismissal Reminder:
Please remember to discuss dismissal plans with your student before the school day begins. We have had many students coming to the office unsure of how they are getting home, which disrupts their day and requires significant time from Miss Delia. Additionally, we are unable to take calls regarding dismissal changes once the dismissal process begins. All calls to change dismissal plans must be made by 2:30 PM. Thank you for your cooperation!
Special note from Father Codega: St. Lucy’s Parish is looking for a part time office assistant. The hours are 9am -1pm, but can be flexible!
