Sunday marks the first Sunday in Advent. Can you believe Christmas is almost here? I can’t! St. Mary will be featured again this year at KUSI’s Songs of the Holiday Season T.V. Program. Tune in (or set your DVR) on Christmas Eve from 8:00-10:00 PM or on Christmas Day from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM or 8:00- 10:00 PM.
We have a Bake Sale on Wednesday, December 5th.
Don’t forget to take the online survey about our school’s Catholic Identity. You get five service hours just for filling it out. Here is the direct link: St. Mary School Catholic Identity Survey
