Catholic Schools Week
We are looking forward to celebrating Catholic Schools Week in a few weeks! This is a special week to celebrate our rich, Catholic heritage. The students look forward to special activities that focus on our Catholic education. Our Catholic Schools Week committee has planned several activities that the students will enjoy during the week. More details will come after the plans are finalized.
Wonderful Faith-Filled Opportunity
We would love to promote our amazing schools, but also thank the parishioners of St. Gabriel for supporting our students and SMCS. We would love for our students, along with their wonderful families, to consider participating. Students and families could have a special part in either of the masses on Sunday, January 29th (8:00 & 10:00). We will be asking for any SMCS students who are attending one of the two Sunday masses on January 29th to come up front and announce to the parishioners what they love about attending SMCS. We will also be serving a continental breakfast after both masses. You do not have to be a member of St. Gabriel parish to come and be a part of this special morning! We would love to hear why your child loves attending St. Gabriel!
Students and families have three options:
- Attend mass so your child can state why they love being a part of our school.
- Sign up to participate in mass. Children or parents may sign up for mass parts. Parishioners love to hear students read!
- Sign up to serve a continental breakfast after one of the masses.
Please use the sign up genius attached if you would like to have a special part in mass or help to serve breakfast. Students and families who do not want to volunteer but will be attending mass do not need to sign up.
