ONE CATHOLIC FAMILY

Catholic Schools Week
Each year we celebrate our unique character as a “Catholic” school nationwide during Catholic
Schools Week. Thus, with our brothers and sisters across the country, we enjoyed last week’s festivities, highlighting that Catholic schools are “Communities of Faith, Knowledge & Service.”
Thank you to all in our Parish who joined us for our Open House! We hope you enjoyed visiting with the teachers and staff, seeing the special work displayed from the children, and talking with current families and students.
We hope your favorite St. Michael student shared all the excitement of the week: their special dress up days, multiple assemblies, surprise photo booth and spontaneous dance offs! Thank you to all the teachers and parent volunteers who made this week so very special!

Blue & Gold
What a joyous event last Friday at our Blue and Gold Gala! Thank you to the nearly 350 people who attended to contribute to our fundraising need at St. Michael Parish School and support the honoring of Sister Robert Clare and Sister Carol Ann. What a celebration of Catholic education at St. Michael, both past & present!
We are indebted to the incredible volunteer team and our Auction Chairperson, Kelly Smith. The full Auction Committee included over 50 people who worked endless hours, often donating supplies and resources to their part of the event. We thank you from the bottom of our “golden” hearts!
And… to our Sponsors and Givers – thank you! It looks like this was our best attended and best earning auction on record. As a school, these funds are absolutely essential and go to immediate use. As a community, coming together is crucial for our future. Bless you all. You have our deepest gratitude.

The Divine Mercy
Have you heard the message of The Divine Mercy?
“It is that God loves us – all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.” – thedivinemercy.org
We thank the 5th graders for leading their Faith Families in learning about The Divine Mercy and making their own “Chaplet.” Our Faith Families have quickly become one of the favorite experiences of our students – coming together with a group across all grades in a familial “circle” that will stay together throughout their entire St. Michael experience.
