Week of June 4th
A NOTE FROM OUR HEADMASTER
Dear Families,
I hope you will consider joining us for our last day of school tomorrow, June 5th. Pew Moving, Mass, Field Day, pizza lunch - it’s going to be a fun day and a wonderful moment for honoring the journey of this school year.
I also want to note two upcoming events:
- Friday, June 12th is the Feast of the Sacred Heart. The Bishops are consecrating the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11. Here is a Novena prayer they are sharing that I would encourage you and your family to pray (it actually started yesterday).
- September 24th is the Beatification of Fulton Sheen in St. Louis, Missouri. There will be a bus heading down there from Sacred Heart. I’d encourage you to consider signing up to attend this wonderful event! Sign-up details are below. Currently, 23 are signed up to use the bus, and 63 parishioners will meet the bus in St. Louis - they are making a family trip out of the Beatification! We’d love to be able to fill the bus. It is also important to let Laureen Fish know about your attendance so that we can enough (free) tickets to the Beatification Mass.
Thank you, families, for your “yes” to Sacred Heart Academy!
In His Most Sacred Heart,
Sean Nolan
Headmaster
