Notes from the Teacher:
-Our Mass is December 8 at 9:00.  The Mass parts have been handed out.  PLEASE PRACTICE WITH YOUR CHILD DAILY.  This will help them to become very familiar with their readings so they won’t have a difficult time when their “nerves” start to work on them when they are reading in Church!  J

-I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy lots of family time!
