Dear Parents,

This past Sunday, November 27th marked the first Sunday of Advent. This is the season of anticipation of Christ and is about four weeks in length. It is important to remember that although it is an exciting time of year for many reasons, it is truly about how Jesus entered our lives as a babe in a manger for the salvation of all mankind. During this time of year the school, parish, and families all partner together to educate the students in the importance of the Christ-event in human history.

There is nothing more important than spending time in reflection and peace with our Lord especially at this time of year. 
On Monday evenings during Advent, St. Catherine of Siena Parish will have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. What a wonderful way to express our love and thankfulness to Jesus through the Holy Eucharist.  We are very fortunate to have Father Marcello to extend himself to the SCSS community in these ways. 

Quote from Pope Francis: 

"Advent is a time when we journey towards Jesus and His Kingdom of justice and peace."



Faithfully Yours,

Miss Giaquinto
