Reminder:
If you feel you must send your child to school with a Halloween treat in the days to come, please limit it to one or two small candies. Too much sugar at school can make it difficult for students to stay on task and feel their best. Thank you for your cooperation and support.

All Saints’ & All Souls’—This Weekend
As we enter November, the Church invites us to remember heaven and hope. Saturday, November 1 is All Saints’ Day, when we honor all those who now live with God in glory. Sunday, November 2 is All Souls’ Day, when we lovingly pray for all the faithful departed. Thank you for keeping these days in your family’s prayer; asking the saints to guide us, and entrusting our loved ones to God’s mercy.
Lord Jesus, on All Saints’ Day we praise you for the great cloud of witnesses. By their prayers and example, help our families grow in holiness.
On All Souls’ Day we commend to your mercy all the faithful departed, especially our loved ones. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
Blessings.
Mrs. Weberg
