Holy Name Highlights
September 8, 2017
Note From The Principal's Desk
Friday Greetings,
It was a shortened week – however we tried to fill it with just as much learning! We have hit the midpoint of our first quarter. Be sure to check Jupiter for midterm grades. This is a great time to sit down and have a conversation with your child regarding midterm progress. As a reminder, we do have parent-teacher conferences coming up in just about a month. However, please do not wait to reach out to any of your child’s teachers with any questions or concerns.
If you have any trouble accessing Jupiter, please reach out to the office and we can make sure that we get that fixed!
Have a great weekend and we will see everyone on Monday!

Living Rosary
The Faith Formation and the Oktoberfest Committee would like to invite you to participate in a Living Rosary on Sunday, September 24 at 1 pm in the church.
With the rosary we will be calling upon the intercession of our Blessed Mother for the success of the Oktoberfest. Following the Rosary there will be pre-Oktoberfest fun in the JCPC.
In the Living Rosary each person stands in a chain representing a bead of the Rosary. If you are interested in being a part of the Living Rosary, please call the parish office at 317-784-5454 or email at parishadmin@holyname.cc. All are welcome to attend this beautiful prayer opportunity.
