December 8 Newletter

Dear Parents,

We celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception tomorrow, where the Blessed Mother Mary was from the first moment of her conception by the grace of God immune from all original sin. It is because of this that Mary had the grace to say "yes" to the Incarnation. Through this act of will, Mary became the vessel for Jesus. In 1858, Mother Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France. There she identified herself to Bernadette as the Immaculate Conception. As we move closer to Christmas it is important to help the students understand the connection between the Immaculate Conception, Incarnation, and the Nativity of our Lord.

Quote from Pope Francis:

"Jesus gives meaning to my life here on earth and hope for the life to come."

Faithfully Yours,

Miss Giaquinto

Thank you to Lyndsey Arone and JP Rizzitelli for all of their time and effort in decorating the front of our school. It looks so warm and welcoming! Thank you for all you do for SCSS!

School Closings and Delays!

St. Catherine of Siena School follows the Trumbull Public Schools for weather related closings, delays and early dismissals. The decision is made by the Superintendent of the Trumbull Public Schools. If you see that Trumbull Public Schools are closed or delayed, we will follow suit.

For these announcements please check our school website after 6:00 am or watch the CT news stations for the listing. You can also register your cell phone number with the CT news stations for closing and delay alerts to be sent directly to your phone.

We will only send out our own notification if we are already in school and the town announces an early dismissal.
