A SPECIAL INVITATION FROM ARCHBISHOP FLYNN:
I invite all of you - men, women, and children - to join in thanksgiving by participating in the 2005 Eucharistic Congress on Friday and Saturday, October 7 & 8, at St. Paul's RiverCentre. Our late Holy Father declared this as the Year of the Eucharist so that we may gratefully reflect upon the great gift we continually receive, Christ Himself.
Archbishop Harry J. Flynn

SCHOOL PICTURE DAY is Thursday, October 6. Younger brothers and sisters who are not in St. John's Little Lights Preschool may come at 12:30 pm. Children may dress up in their Sunday best!
OUR MARATHON was Saturday, October 1, and our goal is $55,000. To make a donation, please call the School Office, (651) 633-1522, ext. 1118, or mail it to us. We are also a United Way designee, so we would appreciate your consideration of St. John's School as a recipient. We had many families requesting tuition assistance this year that we were unable to fund completely. Thank you!
THANK YOU for using your Target Visa charge card and naming St. John's School as the beneficiary. We received a check from Target this week for $3,800 because so many of you designated our school as a recipient.
