Friday News May 6, 2022

Dear St. Andrew Parents,

I hope you are doing well at this point. This was a tough week for sure but also a reminder to count my blessings. One of which is being a part of an incredible school and community. Thank you for your support and understanding as we navigated some difficult times. Please continue to pray for those that passed away and all of those affected by this week’s tragic events. 

 In good news, on May 26, we will be celebrating Mrs. Matteo and her retirement at our school Mass, and then later that day, we will host an open house in the Marian Room from 3:30-5:30 PM. The open house is open to any and all that would like to stop by. There will be light refreshments. 

 Have a great weekend! Happy Mother’s Day!
