All Hallows Eve
Student Saint Presentations will take place on Friday at the school. Teachers are working on getting a live-stream version for parents to watch, as Covid-19 restrictions prevent parents and families from visiting the school. A link will be forwarded to families to take part virtually.
All Souls Day
Due to restrictions surrounding Covid-19, our All Souls Devotion will not take place at the Gardens of Gethsemani, this year. Instead, our devotions and prayers will be a part of a regular day at school. November is a month dedicated to praying for the souls of all our departed TLA friends and family members, as well as the community at large.
Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Walk-A-Thon News
We have reached the end of our pledge collecting with a total very close to $30,000.00! That is an average pledge collection of $173.00/student. All students and families must be commended for the effort that they have made to make this effort a success this year, despite the current economic situation. Our Walk-a-Thon Raffle will take place shortly.
