School Open House Postponed
We have made the difficult decision to postpone the parish school’s open house scheduled for this Sunday. Over the weekend, our principal, Mrs. Kristin Penley, lost her sister unexpectedly due to complications from COVID. While the safety of our guests and staff has always been of the utmost concern, Mrs. Penley's tragedy has heightened this concern for our school community.
We hope to be able to offer an Open House later this year and will be exploring other options for families to tour our school and meet our teachers. We will communicate those plans as they unfold. In the meantime, our Virtual Tour video is a great way to take a peek inside our building and learn what makes St. Margaret of York School so special.

Additionally, Allison Holland our school’s Admissions Coordinator is available to answer any specific questions you may have. Please don't hesitate to reach out to her via email: aholland@smoyschool.org or by phone: 513.697.3122.
We apologize for the inconvenience but will look forward to welcoming you into our school building soon. The Penley Family's tragic loss is a reminder of how serious and life-changing this pandemic is, please keep them in your prayers. We appreciate your prayers and understanding.

Food Pantry (SMOY Shares): St. Patrick’s Day!
The Kings Local and Loveland LIFE pantries are collectively serving ~1050 individuals this year. The Executive Director at LIFE shared that personal hygiene items are often outside budgetary constraints and aren’t SNAP-eligible. Individual donors fill that gap and can provide a little something extra-special for the clients.
“If you can donate either a can of vegetables or soap, pick the soap. Always the soap.” – Kings Local Pantry Director. February Item of the Month: Soap any brand, bar, or liquid. Looking to St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish Spring brand would be festive! A box of Lucky Charms would be a little something special for the kids.
Leave these and all non-perishable donations on the table next to the Hospitality Room opposite the Parish office. Donations will be routed to both the Kings Local and Loveland LIFE Food Pantries.
