Lion’s Roar: November 14th, 2016
Parents,
We pray that your Thanksgiving is a bountiful harvest of blessings! We would like to take
this opportunity to thank you for being blessings in our lives. The ministry of Catholic
Education is one of awesome responsibility, and your children bring the joy and meaning to
our mission every day. Thank you for this incredible gift!
As the Church moves into the season of Advent, we will be sending daily prayers and
reflections to your family. With those affected by the flood still very much on our hearts
and minds, may we also suggest a “Reverse” Advent Calendar this year? What a gift to our
children to know that through giving is when we receive!

Our SAS Book Fair will carry the theme of giving as well, incorporating a Food Bank Drive
along with the events we have grown to love: book signing with authors, EBRP Library
Bookmobile, Photo op with Santa & Mrs. Claus, and Food Truck Night!. We have partnered
with a flood affected local book vendor, Cavalier House Books, from the Denham Springs
Antique Village to provide our Book Fair this year. Supporting our local community helps
us to “Grow Your Heart 3 Sizes!” (Dr. Seuss) -Erin Candilora

Classes are held on most Sundays in the media center during the 9:00am and 11:00am
masses. Children will come to mass with their family and will be dismissed by the priest
after a special blessing just before the Liturgy of the Word and will return before the
consecration. No pre-registration is necessary.
