Dear Saints,
In the last days of this school year, there is a sense of joy and unity. This past week, so many of our virtual events and parades served to connect this great community. We are one in our love of Christ and each other.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we carefully prepare for the 2020-21 school year. We miss you and are eager for you to continue your academic and faith journeys at school. We remain committed to
returning to our beautiful campus in August,
in alignment with guidelines from public health authorities and the Diocese of Orange. We also recognize that our approaches to in-person teaching and campus life will be more varied during the 2020-21 academic year than in pre-pandemic times. As we always do, our community will continue to adapt to provide the best possible range of teaching, learning, and extra-curricular activities. Our faculty will draw upon their teaching expertise and creativity to deliver academic excellence. Our spacious campus will afford us unique opportunities for community, worship, and academic engagement.
As we collectively look back at the past 84 days since the campus closure-- we survived and thrived. This global pandemic has turned our lives upside down, but it will not prevent us from walking forward in faith and hope. Together, we will rise from this crisis united and stronger than ever.
In gratitude,
Kim White, Principal

Family is calling... and
Ms. Jones
has answered. Ms. Jones is relocating to Texas this summer to live closer to family members. She has been at SBS for six years and will be missed by all, especially her kindergarten students. We look forward to many future visits from Ms. Jones.

The Most Holy Trinity
Quote of the Week
"The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one because God is love and love is an absolute life-giving force; the unity created by love is a unity greater than a purely physical unity." -Pope Benedict XVI
Scripture of the Week`
“Brothers and sisters, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.” – 2 Corinthians 13:11
Prayer of the Week
Glory be to the Father,
Who by His almighty power and love created me,
making me in the image and likeness of God.
Glory be to the Son,
Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell,
and opened for me the gates of heaven.
Glory be to the Holy Spirit,
Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism,
and continues to sanctify me
by the graces I receive daily from His bounty.
Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity,
now and forever.
Amen.
