Dear SPC Families,

I hope you all enjoyed your parent-teacher conferences last week! Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day your child can wear shorts as part of the uniform. Tomorrow is also a spirit wear day for the entire school.

Please keep the 8th graders in your prayers as they will be at the Holy Fire Retreat sponsored by the Archdiocese of Chicago tomorrow; this is part of their Confirmation preparation.

October 17th is the CHICKEN COSTUME DATE –Need I say more other than I am looking forward to not having to kiss one this year?

October 20th-We Celebrate the Feast Day of St. Paul of the Cross. The students will receive a special treat that day!

We need a lot of parents to help make this work, so we appreciate everyone's support. As a reminder, all volunteers on school grounds must be VIRTIS Certified, and this can be done virtually!
