OK, this picture is from our backyard in Sublimity, Oregon. Number 2, 7 and 8 are in this picture. Number 2 is Steve and he grew up to be a veterinarian. Number 7 is Mike and he grew up to be a veterinarian. Number 8 is John and he grew up tp work with a different kind of animal- you!! Ha ha!
At the center of the picture is our beloved wet-mouth St Bernard dog, Tag! He was a barrel of fun. (Notice the glasses we put on him) If you know anything about these wet-mouths is that they slobber. All over the place, all over you. One of their signs of affection is to put their wet, slobbering mouth over your wrist. Yes, this is true. When we first got Tag I was 5 years old and would kinda ride him like a 160 pound horse.
We know dogs can be a lot more like God than humans in their unconditional love, presence and loyalty. One image that pops up in my head right now is how Tag was always holy jumping’ up and down Martha excited to see you! He would dash toward you, jump all over you with all his being and cover you in gooey slobber! Boy, if that’s how I could greet everyone because of Christ in me, I think I would be representing our Savior well! But don’t get any ideas about spitting on me, saying that you have been inspired by Tag to do so.
Enjoy life- even the slobber!
+Fr John

Greetings St Charles,
It has been two weeks since Tk, K, 3rd and 8th came back together as one class and the students, teachers and staff are performing well. We have been blessed with minimal disruptions, and hopefully we can bring the other classes back together in the near future. Registration/enrollment is beginning for next school year, as we look to finish out the current year strong. The Lenten season is underway, and students are participating in activities that help them draw closer to Jesus to include Stations of the Cross.
Here are some upcoming events that the PTG is working on:
1) March 5 School Mass Grade 5
2) March 12 No School – Teacher WCEA Day
3) March 19 School Mass Grade 4
4) March 26 School Mass Grade 3
5) April 2-11 Spring Break
6) April 23rd SCBA Spaghetti Dinner (drive-thru)
7) May 7th Fundraising Fiesta (virtual or combination in-person/virtual event)
Thanks for your prayers and support. God is working at SCBA!
