Sledding Sunday & Spring Schedule

Hey SSJ&A Families! Community Covid spread is on the down-swing, our precious vulnerable folks are getting scheduled for vaccines, and we’ve got our spring schedule ready, so it’s time to get back together!

First, Join us for our spring (I use this term loosely as I look out the window at piles of snow) kick-off with ‘Sledding Sunday’ at Byrncliff, Feb 28th 1:30 -3:30

SSJ&A will pay the hill pass for all the kids and provide hot chocolate and coffee to all. Let us know via the Flocknote we sent you or message us here so we can give them a numbers estimate. You can always cancel later. We’d rather have too much than too little on hand. Bring your own sled, saucer, snow board or even card board! Find us in the Grill Room / Skier’s Lounge to sign-in and turn in or fill out the required

Next, Father George kindly asks all adults to consider attending the parish Lenten Retreat March 16, 17 & 18 from 6:30 - 8:30 to provide a much needed spiritual journey a boost. It is a large time commitment, however perhaps 1 parent or grandparent per night, sharing information would work better for you.
