Christmas Anticipation Prayer For You and Your Family!! TY! God bless, Mr. "D'. Hail and blessed be the hour and moment In which the Son of God was born Of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, [here mention your request] through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His blessed Mother. Amen. Beginning on St. Andrew the Apostle's feast day, this very meditative and easy to memorized prayer is traditionally recited fifteen times a day until Christmas to help us be more aware and prepare for the spiritual coming of the Christ Child.

This year SMA School is participating in #iGiveCatholic on #GivingTuesday, our nation’s first-ever NATIONAL Catholic day of giving! This year it will be December 1 from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. If that date doesn’t work, there is an Advanced Giving Day phase for donations beginning at 12:00 AM on Monday, November 16, running through November 30 at 11:59 PM. Two links to donate and share! This link takes you to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia HOME page to find St. Mike's and / or donate to another Catholic School https://philadelphia.igivecatholic.org/ This link takes you directly to St. Mike's! https://philadelphia.igivecatholic.org/organizations/saint-michael-the-archangel-school TY! God bless, Mr. “D’. This is the message displayed on our school’s IGIVECATHOLIC display page: Thank you for visiting our #iGiveCatholic Giving Day page! We are currently raising funds to upgrade our broadband internet for SMA school. We registered many new students this year who are using Chromebooks and we also established a new SMA Individual Virtual Learning Program. Both are causing a heavy load on our SMA broadband network. We just completed one upgrade to our second floor that cost $8000.00 but we are in need of $10,000.00 more to complete our entire school. Your contribution can make our goal come true. Thank you so much for "Giving Catholic" on #GivingTuesday! You are in our daily prayers! God's light, Mr. Stephen D. DiCicco ~ Principal https://philadelphia.igivecatholic.org/ #iGiveCatholic on #GivingTuesday Info! TY! God bless, Mr. "D'.
