Feast of St. Martin de Porres

Dear RE Family and Friends,

November is here and we finally have some fall-like weather, but sadly losing our sunlight in the evening!  Since it will be dark at dismissal, please come up to get your kids, or please remind them to be careful and walk in the dark parking lot. November starts with the celebration of many holy days!  On Friday, we celebrated All Hallow's Eve, followed by All Saints Day on Saturday, and then on Sunday we remembered those who have died on All Souls Day.  Lots of great feasts and lots of ways to bring them into your home. This week on Tuesday, we will also celebrate the feast of our patron saint, Saint Charles Borromeo! He is the patron saint of catechists as well, and we have been blessed with some great catechists in our religious education program. 

As we also celebrate Thanksgiving later this month, I want to be sure to pass along my thanks to our wonderful RE families.  We appreciate all you do and the importance of the Catholic Faith and continuing the growth in the Faith through learning for your children.  We are thankful for your commitment!

Blessings,
Keith and Cindy
