Meet a Parent or Grandparent for Lunch!
Attention Troubies! It is that time of year where you get to invite your parents and/or grandparents to spend lunch with you on campus! This is a fun tradition that allows for your parents and grandparents to get a sneak peek into your Troubie daily life. Parents and grandparents can bring lunch from off-campus, or enjoy a lunch for purchase from the Serra Court Cafe.
This semester’s schedule is:
Celebration of the Feast of St. Francis
We will be celebrating St. Francis, Our Patron Saint, on his Feast Day October 4th with a Mass. We will also be offering animal blessings for your pets before school from 7:15 am- 7:45 am and after school from 3:10 pm- 3:40 pm. Blessings will take place in the armory parking lot (same area where Covid testing is done). Collection will go toward St Vincent DePaul’s support of Afghanistan Refugees in Sacramento.
We look forward to seeing all your awesome pets!!
