Good Afternoon!

 The anticipation is building.  Seeing the magic of Christmas through a child’s eyes is a privilege that I get to enjoy year after year. Thank you!


Teacher Christmas Bonus Fund

Wow! Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to the Teacher Christmas Bonus Fund. Your generosity truly makes a difference. Today’s update is arriving a few hours early to give families one last opportunity to contribute to the Teacher Christmas Bonus Fund before it closes. If you would still like to donate, the fund will remain open until NOON today. Bonus Fund Thank you for supporting our dedicated teachers!


Lost & Found

Are you missing anything? Our Lost & Found is bursting at the seams. We have a selection of uniform pieces, hats, water bottles, lunch boxes, and a few items we’re pretty sure have been with us since the first week of school. All treasures will be on display the week of December 15. Please swing by and rescue your long-lost belongings! Anything left behind after break will be lovingly donated to a new home.


Christmas Shopping Days

Thank you to all of the elves who have made Christmas a little more magical for the students of Saint Andrew. It is wonderful to witness the joy students receive from giving to their loved ones.


Christmas Concert Grades 1-8

The Christmas concert for grades 1-8 is Thursday, December 18.  The doors open at 6:00pm, and the performance begins at 6:30pm.  Early arrivers are asked to form a line at Paulina that will run west on Addison for an orderly entrance into the church. We ask you to keep the aisles clear, and small children should sit with their families. As always, no drinks or food will be allowed in the church. Finally, for the enjoyment of everyone, please be discreet with cell phone photos. 


Lunch Volunteers

Thank you to the parents who are able to lend us a hand during the lunch periods. It is always great to have a celebrity guest to help us.  The winter and spring volunteer sheet is open.

Lunch Duty January - June 2026

Giving Tree
We are thrilled to share that all ornaments have been “sold out”! This is yet another example of our families living the Spirit, Study, Service way of life at Saint Andrew. Thank you for your incredible generosity. Now it’s time to shop! Please return your two winter warmth items in a sealed Ziploc bag, along with the tag, to the rectory or front office by Monday, December 15.

Family Mass

We will celebrate Family Mass on Sunday at 9am. Attending Mass as a family strengthens spiritual bonds, fosters shared values, and reinforces a sense of unity and faith within the family. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!


Celebrating Sunday

Here is a great conversation starter on your way to or from Mass: Celebrating Sunday.  Thank you, Mrs. McGuire!
