PRAYER REQUESTS 
Please pray for healing of Francisco Pena, brother of CSSE Pre K-4 teaching assistant Mrs. Imelda Aleman, who was diagnosed with Leukemia and is undergoing chemo therapy. We pray for the strength for his family during this difficult time. Please continue to pray for Jacob Stone, father of Ella and Jackson Stone, and Chris Kusel, father of Lauren and Kate Kusel, who are both recovering from heart surgeries.

For the success of our capital campaign - One Church, Growing Together. 
May we give generously in support of the continued growth of our church and school 
So we can continue God's call to evangelize people of all ages 
Through spiritual education and formation. Let us pray to the Lord.

CSSE Accreditation Week
This week the Oklahoma Conference of Catholic Schools Accrediting Association (OCCSAA) team will be here in OKC to evaluate our school for our seven year accreditation visit. The team will be present at drop-off and pick-up as well as in classrooms, lunch, recess, and Mass. Please keep our staff in your prayers as we have been working very hard to ensure that we exhibit high standards and come away with a glowing report!

NEW! Walk & Talk
You may have noticed something new we tried last week in the gym during drop-off.  Walk & Talk is a chance for students to get moving in the morning by walking the "trail" around the gym. They can meet up with buddies to chat while talking. Students need to come in and find their class cone, place their bag in line, and join in the walk. They may opt out and choose to sit in their line and visit with classmates there. Middle school students have been moved to the bleachers which they love and they may also choose to Walk & Talk! We are super excited to get kids up and moving and enjoy each other's company before class!

Donuts with Dad is on Thursday, Oct. 17th!
Dads, join your kids in Ross Hall from 7:30am-7:55am for a donut. Stay for Mass at 8:15am.

Children's Liturgy of the Word Volunteer Needed
A volunteer to serve one Sunday a month during your regular Mass time as a Catechist for Children's Liturgy of the Word is needed! Two Catechists take the children, ages 4-7, to the chapel after the Opening Prayer to present and discuss that Sunday's Readings, especially the Gospel. The Catechist materials lead the Catechist through the presentation. It is a beautiful way to engage young children in the Gospel message! October start date will depend upon gathering enough volunteers. 24 are needed to present Children's Liturgy at all the Masses once a month. Please contact Judi Wilkinson at [email protected] if interested.  
Training meeting September 26, 6:30 pm. Location TBA
