Dear Parents,

The St. Augustine Medal of Service was instituted by Bishop Lori in 2005. Each year the Diocese of Bridgeport recognizes men and women who show dedication to Christ and to His Church through service and charitable works.

This Saturday, October 28th, t he St. Augustine Medal of Service will be presented to Mary Dineen  for her years of service and volunteering of her time to our St. Catherine of Siena School community.  Along with serving as our HSA Treasurer and her many years of assisting our athletic program,  Mary has supported and served our community in numerous ways throughout her time here at SCSS.

The prayer service and medal ceremony will be held at St. Augustine Cathedral where Bishop Caggiano will give a blessing and present the medals to all the recipients. What a beautiful way to celebrate service to others. Congratulations Mary Dineen and thank you for all your service to our school community. 


Quote from Pope Francis: 

"Let us try always to be united with Jesus, following 
Him especially on the way of the cross."


Let us remember that as true Disciples of Jesus we are called to serve and to follow His way. If we live by His example and serve others we will receive God's graces. We can be united through living out the Beatitudes in hopes of receiving true happiness someday in Heaven with our Lord. 


Faithfully Yours,

Miss Giaquinto

Walk-A-Thon News
October 27th

The SCSS Wakathon is tomorrow!  We are so excited and ready to go! 

Our goal is for each walker to raise $100. Collections are coming in; to date we have raised approximately $10,000.00 which includes our sponsors. Donations are coming in everyday!

Each student who has reached the goal will receive a thermal tote bag with our school logo on it. For every $50 a student raises they will receive a raffle ticket to be put into a drawing for a gift card.  

Congratulations to our winners this week:

Erin - grade 4
Molly - grade 2
