Saint Wenceslaus Catholic School Weekly Office Update
St. Wenceslaus School will be hosting a Veterans Day ceremony at the Veterans Memorial on Friday, November 8, at 10:30 a.m. (in case of inclement weather, we will be in the Parish Activity Center). Our 8th-grade class will be leading a short prayer service, with the American Legion Color Guard also in attendance. We invite all veterans and their families to join us. We celebrate our veterans who are not just individuals who’ve endured the trials of war; they are teachers of life lessons. They’ve shown us the true meaning of courage, sacrifice, and resilience. Their stories are not confined to history books; they’re stories we can find in our own communities, among our neighbors and families.
Reminder of colder weather
Just a reminder to dress for the weather – bring coats, hats, mittens and (boots when it starts snowing) with it getting colder outside.
Pray, hope, and don't worry. ~ St. Padre Pio
