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.

Novena (Pray 9 Days) to St. Valentine For You and Your Families! God's love, Mr. "D'. Novena to St. Valentine O holy Martyr, St. Valentine, pray for the Faithful, who are so persevering in celebrating thy memory. The day of Judgment will reveal to us all thy glorious merits. Oh! intercede for us, that we may then be made thy companions at the right hand of the Great Judge, and be united with thee eternally in heaven. Antiphon: This Saint fought, even unto death, for the law of his God, and feared not the words of the wicked; for he was set upon a firm rock.       Let us pray: Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we who solemnize the festival of blessed Valentine, Thy Martyr, may, by his intercession, be delivered from all the evils that threaten us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Here mention your petitions) Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, Amen
