Dear parents, teachers, and friends of SSP School,

Happy Friday, Happy Second Week of Advent, and welcome to what promises to be a very chilly weekend! Thank you to the preschool team for jumpstarting the season for us last night with their much anticipated and much-loved Advent Pageant! We have another full week, well 4.5 days next week, before a two-full-week Christmas vacation.  

Near the end of the day, we received news that there will be an experimental pilot to give us more opportunities to celebrate weekend Mass on the SSP campus. See the announcement from Parish Council President, Tom Esswein on page 2 of the Notes.

Below is the Special Mass schedule for the remainder of this calendar year:

Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ
 • December 24: 4:00 PM @ SJB | 5:00 PM @ SSP | 10:00 PM @ IHM
 • December 25: 8:00 AM @ SJB | 10:00 AM @ SSP

Mary, Mother of God
 • December 31: 11:55 PM @ SSP
 • January 1: 8:00 AM @ IHM | 12:00 PM @ SJB

As we move deeper into this beautiful season, please know of our continued prayers for you and your families. May your Advent be blessed with peace, hope, and joy.

Have a wonderful weekend, and Paz de Dios,

Señor Gregorio Medellin-Sturgill
