A MESSAGE FROM MR. COLLINS
We are expecting to return to school in August, but we are making plans in the event that we are under another stay-at-home order. Our teachers and administrators are meeting regularly to develop a more comprehensive plan for at-home learning ... one that takes into consideration the needs and circumstances of all of our students and families. Our goal is for all SMM students to have a successful and less stressful school year. Please keep our faculty and administrators in your prayers as we develop a contingency plan.
We will be sending out more information at the end of June.
NOTE: The school office will be open from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays through June 19. The school office will be closed from Monday, June 22 through July 3. The school office will reopen on July 7.
NOTE: The Grab N' Go Meals will end on June 26.

I WANT TO GO TO MASS
You do NOT need a reservation to attend a weekday Mass at 8:30 am or 6:30 pm.
We now have ample room for up to 150 people to start returning to Mass at weekend Masses (Saturday 4:00 pm, 6:00 pm (Spanish); Sunday 8:30 am, 10:15 am, 12 noon), but you really should consider making a reservation if you want to attend one of the WEEKEND Masses.
Call the I WANT TO GO TO MASS hotline 985-201-5504 on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. Reservations are strongly recommended. If you come to a weekend Mass without a reservation, please see the call-in list and add your name where you see blank spaces up to 150. Remember that a mask is required at any Mass you attend.
While we have returned to the weekend Masses scheduled, we do understand that some may not be ready to return to Mass in church. The dispensation of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still in effect. The Archbishop also recommends the elderly and those with health conditions to also consider staying home as a wise decision until things get better.
If anyone does not feel comfortable attending Mass and might yet desire to receive Holy Communion at the end of one of the Sunday Masses, please let the usher at the main door of church know you are waiting, and he will contact the deacon or priest to bring you Holy Communion at the door.
