A Moment for Mission

Oh, how much you have to thank God for this... 

-- St. Angela Merici-Testament/Legacies

Well, here we are, heading into Thanksgiving break already! There is certainly a great deal to be grateful for. I hope next week is a time of relaxation and good family time for all.

 A quick commercial … you should have received a “Save-the-Date” for the UA Soiree, Ursuline’s annual dinner/auction on February 3, 2024. It sounds far off, I know, but Thanksgiving snuck up on us and this will too! The committee is hard at work planning a great night with auction items at all price levels and a great dinner. It’s never too soon to start talking with other parents about getting a table together! More details to come.

All my best,

Peggy Slater
