Dear Families,
A big thank you goes out to all the volunteers who made Spooks and Spoofs such a wonderful event. We had a great turnout! Special thanks to Lori Petroff for chairing this event.
Please join us for Mass on Tuesday at 8:00 for the Feast of All Saints. Stop by the gym after from 9:30-11:00 for our All Saints Museum. Visit the 57 different saints from our church's history wonderfully acted out by our 7th and 8th grade students.
This month the Archdiocese of Milwaukee's focus for the Jubilee of Mercy is the corporal Work of Mercy,
"Visit the Sick". Watch this video from Fr. Ken Omernick, Archdiocesan Missionary of Mercy, share his experience as a young seminarian training as a hospital chaplain.

Yours in Christ,

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. SMV celebrated this by making a rosary out of balloons and saying the Rosary together as a school. The rosary lifted our prayers up to heaven.
