Saint Wenceslaus Catholic School Weekly Office Update
From the Office of Principal
This is a very busy week for the children.
Happy Halloween – Halloween consists of a few treats, no uniforms and our school dance called the Monster Mash.
Happy All Saints Day – We start our day with our All Saints Day Mass at 8:00. We will have Mass on Thursday this week to celebrate this Holy Day for our Catholic faith.
Happy All Souls Day – On this day most of our students will walk to the parish cemetery where they will pray a rosary in the chapel for all of our departed souls.
Students are invited to bring pictures of the saints in their lives who have departed from us through death. These can be placed on a table in front of the Mary altar in the church for the month of November.

We will soon be asking for donations – large and small – to make this night a success.
Food Drive
On November 14, our school will be celebrating Thanksgiving at mass. It has been a tradition for our students to bring non-perishable food and personal care items to share with those in our community who are less fortunate. Please consider some of the following items for which there is currently a greater need at the Peace Center.
Condiments (mayo, dressings, seasonings)
Juices (apple, orange, tomato, etc.)
Soup (all varieties)
Breakfast foods (cereal, oatmeal, breakfast bars)
Personal care items (soap, shampoo, deodorant)
Please send donations to school November 12, 13 or 14 so that the students may present these items before the altar at Mass. Thank you for your generosity.
