Back-to-School BBQ Fun! πΊπ
Thank you to everyone who joined us for last weekβs Back-to-School BBQ! It was a wonderful afternoon filled with food, fun, and our amazing Saints community. A highlight of the event was our βAre You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?β challenge! Our priests put their knowledge to the test against our Saints, and it was a huge success! A big congratulations to Father John on coming out on top! π
Thank you to our FIO, volunteers, staff, families, students, and everyone who helped make the BBQ such a fun and memorable event!

The Life Skill of The Week
This Week's Life Skill is Common Sense: to use good judgement. Common sense is behaving in a practical and sensible way. For example, wearing warm clothes when it is cold outside; going inside to stay dry when it starts raining; and before stepping out into traffic β looking both ways. Be practical and show us how you use your common sense this week!
