Principal's Message
Let us remember in the gospel today Jesus called Lazarus, and Lazarus responded. God calls us to respond. Think about our Lenten journey. Is there someone we have not responded to or something we have not done so far in Lent? It is not too late. Father Luke reminds us to respond and let go of the things that bind us and forgive one another. By freeing someone else, we free ourselves. God calls us to respond with forgiveness. How we respond to God's call is up to us. He calls us like He calls Lazarus to rise up and love and serve one another.
Blessings,
Mrs. Pierce
Davis Construction Updates
In the mornings when parking in the front lot for drop off, please DO NOT park in handicapped parking spots. We have several handicapped parishioners who attend daily mass and are in need of those spaces. These are handicapped spots all the time and only those with a handicapped placard or license plate should be parking in those spots. As a reminder, you should always be mindful of your speed in parking lots, in particular here, as our older parishioners as well as our pre-k students may be walking through the lot just out of your vision.
Our "Reserved for future SMG Family" spots are also being heavily used for new families who are shadowing students throughout the Spring. Please respect these spots and help us to welcome potential new families.
