Monday Morning Magic for 10/28/24! Congratulations to our Cross Country team who completed their season this week at the championship meet. Boys' team came in second!

Mrs. Rotondi awarded Jaeliana for PRUDENCE, for working hard to get all her assignments in on time. And Miss Campanell awarded Phoebe for her FAITH -- for not only reading at Mass, but also for reminding her class that they were attending Mass to give honor to God 🙏🏼 Saints Circles: Mrs. O'Callaghan offers us a reflection on this Sunday's Gospel. Jesus restored the sight of Bartimaeus, and Bartimaeus was so grateful for this gift, he gave up everything he had and became a disciple of Jesus, sharing the Good News as they traveled to community after community. What GIFT has Jesus given you that you can use to share the Good News of God? No sharing this time; just a private reflection for yourself. 😇 And then we're dancing off to another week at St. Pete! Let's have a great week Saints!

More SPS representation at the pilgrimage!
