Parish Festival - Thank you!
Thanks to each of you, this year's Festival was a wonderful success!! Many thanks to all of our school families - we greatly appreciate your cooperation, generosity, enthusiasm, and support. To our terrific school staff - thank you for working those l-o-n-g hours in the ticket booth, raffle tent and parent volunteer table!
Finally, we wish to thank the Festival Committee, and each Parish organization, especially Linda Kucera and Selene Luna, the Religious Education Department, and everyone in the Parish Office. We are so grateful for all of your work, dedication, and making this year's Festival such a fun-filled and memorable event!
On Monday, October 13th, all Archdiocesan Faculty (Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12) gathered at Bishop Gorman High School for a day of prayer, dialogue, and a key note presentation regarding Inclusion Solutions presented by Colleen McCoy and Crystal Brooks. All faculty thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to come together with colleagues from across the Archdiocese. We also had the opportunity to honor faculty members celebrating milestones in their years of service to the Archdiocese of Las Vegas.
Congratulations to Ms. Linda Studdard (15 years), Mrs. Susie Villanueva (30 years),
and Mrs. Kelly Thomas (45 years)! We are grateful for their years of service!

COMMON SENSE: To use good judgment.
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 – looking both ways.
Be practical and show us how you use your common sense this week!
