MAT8 TESTS will be taken by students at St. John's this week. We have moved our test taking to the fall to allow the teachers a better opportunity to review the results, and to see the strengths and weaknesses of the school as well as individual students. We ask parents not to schedule appointments this week!
NO CLASSES for our school students on Thursday and Friday, October 21/22, because of the MEA Convention.

YOU ARE INVITED to attend our parish retreat, "Luke Live!," Monday - Thursday, October 25 - 28. The goal of the retreat is to strengthen your involvement with Scriptures, and foster evangelization & faith sharing. The weekend liturgies of October 23/24 will focus on ways we interact and relate to the Bible, and the weeknights will highlight community-building themes, such as the Kingdom of God. As part of our focus on adult and family faith formation, this is an opportunity to bring the entire family to hear the Word of God as spoken in the Gospel of Luke. Mark your calendar for these dates and come to be refreshed in the Lord.
