PARENT ROSARY - SERVICE WEEK EDITION

THURSDAY, Dec. 5, 2019 @ 8:15am
SFX CHAPEL (located next to Joyce Hall in the school)

Each week, we pray for the SFX students, families, faculty and staff. But this week is special...it’s SERVICE WEEK! Inspired by Mother Teresa, our children have been reflecting on how our LOVE IN ACTION is service. Even simple acts, like a smile, or a prayer, done with great love, are acts of service.

Join us in serving the SFX Community with our prayers.  We will be praying the rosary for our children and all those they encounter through Service Day. As always, bring your specific special intentions.

Questions: contact Katie Kanzer k.f.kanzer@gmail.com or Karen Trayser karentrayser@yahoo.com.

Thursday, December 12th at 7:00pm in the Church.

This beautiful Advent prayer service with seasonal readings & songs will be presented by the students in grades 2, 4 & 6. Please join us as we prepare to welcome Jesus!
