Loving God, we thank you for the gift of peace you give us through Jesus. Help us prepare our hearts for the Lord’s coming by working for Christ’s peace to take root in our family. We ask this in the name of the one born in Bethlehem, Jesus our Lord.
Amen.

Thank you to all who made it possible and to all those who braved the weather and marched and cheered for our beautiful school. God bless you all!

Friday, December 13,
following Mass.
Brian Greenway from Ident-a-Kid Services will be at our school tomorrow, Friday, December 13th following Mass. Ident-a-kid is a company that offers child ID cards at a reasonable cost. If you are interested in this great opportunity please complete the application, which was sent home in a past Tuesday envelope, and enclose your payment.
All applications MUST be returned to the school by December 13th.
No child will be photographed without a parent's consent and an application with payment. All child ID cards will be sent to the address on the form within a week. These child ID cards are a good way to have proof of identity for your child as there are times when you need an OFFICIAL identification. Both Law Enforcement and various Government Agencies recommend having an ID ready.
If you have any questions regarding the local program please contact Bryan Greenway at 843-206-9088 or
greenway@identakid.com
Don't miss this once a year opportunity! Please make sure you fill out the application form, enclose your payment, and return it to St. Michael Catholic School by December 13th.
