It is hard to believe that a month has already passed since our celebration of Christmas. It is even harder to believe that I have all my Christmas decorations put away – that is a miracle!! I am now trying to catch up with saying thanks for Christmas gifts. Please know how grateful Fr. Bob and I am for your kind and very generous Christmas gift! Thank you to our parents, students, faculty and staff for your thoughtfulness. May God bless you abundantly with His many good gifts in this New Year! May you enjoy health and happiness throughout the year!
Who Dey!!!
Sincerely,
Fr. Bernie

Uniform Donation Thank You
A group that is helping refugee families in the Dayton City Schools asked for donations of school uniforms. The children desperately needed pants. The children are required to wear khaki pants or shorts with their uniform shirt.
Many thanks to Mrs. Treml for gathering some of our extra uniforms to help the Dayton refugee families!
Below is a note of thanks from the group:
The uniforms will definitely go to a good cause. Many of these refugee families have very little. We cannot thank you enough!! Please extend our thanks to all those at St. Francis de Sales!
