We are getting scaffolding for part the set and it will be delivered to the theater at 9 am on Friday, Feb. 23. We will need a lot of help unloading and assembling this! If possible, please plan to take of work and help, and please sign up on the signup genius for that day so we know we have enough help!
Help on Thursday – we need all hands on deck at 6 pm at St. Mary Pine Bluff to load everything into the semi! Please plan on coming a bit early for pick up and we particularly need some strong dads!
We will have the opportunity to adore Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist in our oratory for the full school day next Fri., Mar. 1.
If you and/or your student(s) would like to join us for the Rosary, please arrive in the St. Joseph Oratory at 7:40 a.m. Fri., Mar. 1. Rosaries conclude by the first bell, so any students who wish to join us for prayer will not be late for homeroom. The Rosary will be followed by Mass, after which Our Eucharistic Lord will be exposed on the altar.
Adorers are needed throughout that day. If you are available to stay with Our Lord for an hour, please contact Dr. Geoffrey Ludvik, Director of Student Ministries.
Update per the SAA e-Newsletter on 1/9/2024: “The SAA Parent Disciple-Makers Workshop scheduled for Wednesday evening, January 10, is cancelled given that we will be between two major storm systems.”
Parents are called and graced to do more than raise their kids in faith. They are called to the Great Commission, to make their kids into disciples for the rest of their lives. We do our best. We love them, we pray for them, we set healthy boundaries, and actively form their character. What else can we do to make them into disciples of Jesus?
These workshops will equip parents with practical strategies to strengthen the discipleship environment of their home, lead their kids deeper in personal faith, and be even more intentional in apprenticing them as disciples.

Per the email on 11/1/2023 from Home and School Connections: We will not have a Coffee Break tomorrow (11/2/2023) so that you can consider attending Mass for All Soul’s Day. This is a powerful day to pray for the dead. If you visit a cemetery and pray for the souls in Purgatory anytime between Nov 1 – 8, you can complete a plenary indulgence for a soul.
