[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, apparently cannot share that way.  Here is cut and paste, not even bothering to hide the church since it was sent to everyone.

Dear Queen of Apostles Catholic School Families,
At Queen of Apostles Catholic School, the physical and spiritual safety of our students remains
at the heart of everything we do. We are deeply grateful for your continued partnership in
helping us provide a safe, faith-filled environment. With your support through the PTO, we
have made great progress this year by implementing our weekly school-only Mass and adding
unarmed security—thank you for making this possible.
As a small school with limited resources, there are certain feast days when we are unable to
hold a private school-only Mass. On these Holy Days, our students will join the parish
community for Mass. This year, those dates are Monday, December 8, 2025 (the Solemnity of
the Immaculate Conception) and Wednesday, February 18, 2026 (Ash Wednesday). On
both days, the school will attend the 9:00 a.m. parish Mass.
We understand that each family prayerfully discerns what is best for their children’s safety and
spiritual well-being. If you prefer that your child not attend the parish Mass on these days,
please follow these steps:
1. Email the school office and your child’s teacher at least 24 hours in advance to let us
know you will bring your child to school at 10:00 a.m. and sign them in at the office.
2. Please take the attached Mass card to your local parish and have your parish priest sign
it after your family attends Mass. Return the card to the school office the following day.
Families receiving the Catholic tuition rate are expected to fulfill the obligation of Holy Day
Mass attendance. If a signed card is not returned, a $50 fee will be applied to the FACTS
account in lieu of verification.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to work together to nurture
both the faith and safety of our children. We are truly blessed by your support and partnership
in our shared mission of Catholic education.

In Christ,
Fr. Alexander Diaz
