“As we prayerfully remember the tragedy of September 11, 2001, I invite all Catholics to join me in prayer for the victims taken from us in acts of unjustifiable violence 25 years ago at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in rural Pennsylvania. In a special way, we lovingly embrace in prayer the victims’ families and friends, who still mourn the irretrievable loss of their loved ones on that day. We also remember the first responders and emergency workers, so many who gave their lives in selfless acts of courage.

Lord, on this Labor Day,
we thank You for the blessing of work.
We ask for strength to complete each day.
We ask for rest when we are weary.
We ask Your guidance for everyone seeking employment,
and we ask that You be with those whose faces
we might never see but who work tirelessly each day
for the good of us all.
Amen.

🎒 It was a gorgeous weekend for back to school blessings from Father John and Father Peter! Students from all schools brought their backpacks to Mass and received a blessing, as well as a small gift from St. Mary School Swormville.
Let's keep students and teachers in our prayers this week as they head back to class:
A BACK TO SCHOOL PRAYER - God of wisdom & might, we praise you for the wonder of our being, for mind, body & spirit. Be with our children as they begin a new school year. Bless them & their teachers & staff. Give them strength & grace as their bodies grow; wisdom & knowledge to their minds as they search for understanding; & peace & zeal to their hearts. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

😎 Psssttt.... there's just 14 DAYS LEFT before school starts! Now is a great time to check out School Supply Lists & be sure your rising K-8 students are completing their Summer Work!
✏️ School Supply Lists: https://www.stmaryschoolswormville.org/supplies
☀️ K-8 students, don’t forget to finish up your summer assignments! Packets were given out to students in June. If you have questions about the work your student should complete, please contact the school office at 716-689-8424, or office@stmaryschoolswormville.org. Please refer to your child’s teacher’s directives for the due dates. Some are due at Supply Drop Off & others the first day or week of school. Students who complete the summer work do not experience the “summer slide” & are ready to pick up where they left off in June. It is important to do these assignments!
We 're wishing all of our St. Mary's families 14 more days of fun & relaxation, & we can't wait to see everyone's smiling faces back on campus very soon!
