Dear Parents,
In the pastoral effort to respond to a heightened need for the protection of our children, the Archdiocese of Mobile developed a program for the protection of children and adolescents. As a part of this program, all children in grades Pre-K through 12 in schools and parish religious programs will be given strategies on how to protect themselves. Since parents are their children’s primary teachers, an integral part of the program will be to provide parents with information to help their children remain safe. You may access the Child Protection Policy at the following link:
https://d3jc3ahdjad7x7.cloudfront.net/jn12kB3Kp7R3YR70CVdkGDWLAIw6rQLaYomsLjRxP2bAlUro.pdf
We will be presenting this program during the month of October. In addition, your children will bring home a bit of homework to be shared with you. Please look for it and talk to your children about their personal safety.

Each month students learn a Bible Verse. We recite it together during our morning prayers. We also pray a particular prayer together for the duration of the month.
During the month of October we will learn
Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Our prayer focus is The Memorare.
We would love for you to practice the verse with your children at home.

We continue to recognize October as Respect Life Month. Led by members of our Pro-Life Club, we will participate in a school wide Rosary for Life immediately following Mass on Tuesday. As always, parents are welcome to join us!
