In early September, our sixth graders had the opportunity to go to Camp Tekakwitha with three of their teachers, parent chaperones and their classmates.

We love camp for all of these reasons:

• Seeing classmates and teachers in a different setting and often in a different light
• Forming bonds with new friends and new classmates
• Trying new activities
• Praying together

Our intermediate students commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo fire with a field trip to the shrine. They learned about the history of the site and participated in several centers – praying the rosary, lighting a candle for a loved one, and doing a prayer walk.

• Ofrenda will be blessed at 10:00 am by Fr. Mark on the 2nd. 
• Classrooms can come by during the day and say a prayer for the souls of those who have departed. 
• Students may bring in pictures of departed loved ones to be blessed by Fr. Mark. (please put the student’s name on the back of the photo so it may be easily returned)
