Reminders
- St. Louis Parish is raising money through the iGiveCatholic Campaign to continue efforts to protect our campus from crime. Currently, there is no barrier from White Station to the breezeway between the Church and School. Our hope is to close this gap with a brick façade that’s consistent with our existing architecture. A decorative entrance would be available for authorized personnel. This addition would provide a much-needed security enhancement to help restrict access to our students while they move across campus and protect our parishioners and visitors. See Wednesday Wire for details on how to donate. Thank you for your support!
- The due date for half of all total service hours for 5-8 grade students is THIS Friday, December 6.
