Hello St. Catherine of Siena Families!
I pray that your beginning of Advent has been fruitful as we journey with Mary towards the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. If you haven't already done so, please take a look at the Advent resources below to either do personally or as a family.
Advent is a great time to show your child the importance of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Please prayerfully consider attending one of the penance services listed below that are occurring around the Raleigh area churches. Our 3-8 grade students will not attend confession again until after the new year due to the season of Advent.
It is a very busy time between now and Christmas! This week we have our Band, Orchestra, and Guitar Ensemble concert on Thursday evening. I look forward to seeing you there. Thank you to Mrs. DiPaolo and Mr. Szalacsi for their work with our Band, Orchestra, and Guitar. We will have performances at 1:30PM and 6:30PM in the gym. Parents are invited to both performances.
We will be attending mass on Monday, December 9 and Thursday, December 12. Boys will need to wear pants both days and those students who have PE on Monday, can wear their sneakers with their regular uniform.
Please remember to watch your speed on Siena Drive, West Holding Avenue, and Tyler Run Drive while coming to and leaving school. Help us continue to be good neighbors to our community by watching your speed. There have been some recent facebook posts concerning school families speeding in the neighborhood. Safety is always our main goal for our families, students, and neighbors of St. Catherine's. Thank you!
Thank you for your continued support of Catholic Education at St. Catherine of Siena.
God Bless,
Mr. Bilotta
