On February 18, 2020, our new Archbishop will be installed at the Cathedral Basilica of St Peter and Paul. I am attending! A livestream of the entirety of the Mass will be available. The easiest method to access the broadcast if you wish to view would be the Archdiocesan website (www.archphila.org). The broadcast will begin at 1:40 p.m. with the procession. Mass itself should begin at approximately 2:00 p.m. and we currently estimate that all will end between 4:00 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. Please keep Archbishop Perez in your prayers and have your school community pray for him as he prepares to take over the leadership of our great Archdiocese.

Fourth grade trip Thursday. Our SMA students were very well behaved. One of the performers...who came to our classroom for the Pre-Show presentations last week was so impressed with the respect and kindness that our students exhibit that he even gave us a shout out on the stage yesterday. We were the only school mentioned. So proud of them! God's love, Mrs Bowski & Mr. "D'.

From the staff of SMA School Happy Valentine's Day!!! A Valentine Prayer I said a Valentine prayer for you and asked the Lord above to fill your heart and bless your soul With the precious gift of love. I asked Him for sincere love The kind that's meant to stay Just like the generous love You give to those you touch each day. I prayed for love from family And from every cherished friend Then I asked the Lord to give you His love that knows no end. Amen God’s love to you and your family! Mr. “D”. \

Dedicating fifty years to a career is impressive.  But committing fifty years to Catholic education is an achievement worthy of special recognition. St. Monica teacher Mrs. Sarah Avitalle was honored this past Friday during a Mass celebrating teachers who have reached milestones in their careers. Mrs. Avitalle began teaching in Philadelphia 50 years ago at the age of 18.
