Notes From the Office: November 26th, 2018

Greetings,

 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are ready to send your children back to school for the final stretch before Christmas. This is a very important time spiritually and academically for the students. It is very important that they are here and ready to learn.


Last week, we had our annual school science fair and the students did a great job with their projects. We had a set of excellent judges, five from the University of Kentucky and three parishioners. The judges were very complementary about the students’ projects and had a tough time choosing the winners. The winners will be announced after Mass on Tuesday.


Lastly, I would like to thank the St. John Beta Club for their generosity and community service. The students stayed after school last Tuesday to make sandwiches and pack lunches for the Gathering Place. What a great gift of time and generosity during this holiday season!

“I GIVE CATHOLIC – A DAY OF GIVING”  - NOVEMBER 27

 

Last year your generosity allowed us to improve our school and parish. With your donations of over $7000.00 last year, we were able to purchase electronic equipment that greatly updated our classrooms. This equipment included:

This year money received will be used to repair the parish/school offices. The repairs include fixing flashing to stop leaks. The money will also be used to do some mortar work and seal the brick. Lastly, the money will be used to repair and paint the walls and ceiling damaged by leaks.

 

Thank you for your generosity and support!
