Dear Parents,

Some time early this morning the parish sign on Benton and the Northwest Highway was cruelly vandalized on both sides with spray painted swastikas.

We were fortunate that Mrs. Soby's husband, a professional painter, was able to come right over and remove the abomination from our sign.   A parent also walked over, paint thinner in hand, to help out. 

The Palatine Police were the ones who noticed the vandalism and were on it right away and have filed a police report.  They do not think this was anything other than malicious vandalism but are watching.  

We are reviewing our safety procedures campus wide.  I also ask you to also be aware, noticing and notifying us if you see or hear anything on the property, in the community, or on social media, that is out of line or just seems "off." 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this act.  I am so grateful to Mr. Soby and to the STS family members that stopped by to offer their help and support.

Maybe today, we could all spend a few minutes in prayer and go out of our way to be extra kind.  Evil is an absence of good, let's fill up our world with good today to balance out this evil act!

Mary
