. I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, it’s true. Thanksgiving is here, and we will be on Thanksgiving break from November 27th through December 1st. The year is flying by in a big hurry, so here are a few early reminders:
1. RCCW Bazaar - Saturday November 23rd, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
2. K of C Christmas Craft Fair Sunday, December 7thth, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
3. Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Holy Day of Obligation, Sunday, December 8th, celebrated on December 9th.
4. Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe – December 12
5. St. Margaret’s Christmas Program – Thursday, December 19th, 7:00 PM CWC
6. End of second quarter and last school day before Christmas – Friday, December 20th
Classes resume - January 6th
One of my favorite things about St. Margaret’s School is the student Mass on Wednesdays. Our students proclaim the readings and a class member from each class gives prayer intentions for the week. For these kids to get up in front of a group and speak and read is a remarkable feat, but each week they perform admirably.
In the last few weeks we have had security cameras installed in our school. We now have excellent visibility all around the out-side of the building and pretty good visibility inside. We are trying to add a few more cameras inside and some more recording memory. Right now, we can record about a week’s worth of video from the cameras we have and we’d like to increase that to about thirty days.
This past Tuesday, Erika Yarber and her family, working for the PTO group, sponsored our annual fall “Family Fun Night”. They provided us with a “taco bar” for our meal and it was very delicious. We began the evening with teachers and students demonstrating our new reading instruction techniques and assessment system. After the demonstrations, the PTO had orga-nized games such as a pie-eating contest; a cake walk, and cookie decorating. The evening went very well and I think everyone had a great time. I greatly appreciate the PTO and the other volunteers who made, not only the Family Fun Night successful, but who also work so hard, all year long, to make our school successful.
Weekly Quote: “Baptism”
From: Weddell, Sherry A.; Forming Intentional Disciples, pg. 68
“A baby is not capable of personal faith or personal sin and cannot put any obstacles in the way of receiving the graces given in baptism. When an infant is baptized, the faith of the baby’s parents, godparents, and the Church substitute for the child’s faith. Nothing can be asked of a baby (Emphasis added).
Walk In The Light Of The Lord,

Thanks to the great support of Joe and Rose Stanbury, we are launching again our annual raffle. Tickets are for sale through St. Margaret’s School students, at the school office and also during the RCCW Bazaar (Saturday, November 23) and Knights of Columbus Craft Fair (Saturday, December 7).

Faith Formation
It is with a heavy heart that the Diocese of Cheyenne informs you of a credible accusation regarding Rev. Donn Shelly, a priest of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, Irish Province. Father Shelly (deceased) served from 1969 to 1970 at Our Lady of Fatima, Casper, and
later that year at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Cheyenne, for a short time. As-sistance has been offered to the victim. As a diocese, we reaffirm our commitment to the safety of all God’s children. Together let us be vigi-lant in providing a safe environment and praying for all victims/survivors of clergy sexual abuse. If you suspect abuse of a minor, call your local law enforcement agency or the Department of Family Ser-vices. Upon notification of authorities or if you have questions, please call Chancellor Jean Chrostoski at 307-638-1530, ext. 105, or send email to ([email protected]) or make contact with the Diocesan Victim Assistance Coordinator Mary Adams at 307-220-0485 ([email protected]).
Fr. Louie’s Corner
Thursday December 12, 2019
The celebration for The Feast Day of
Our Lady of Guadalupe will begin
with Mañanitas at 6:15 a.m. with a gather-
ing in the church for a traditional serenade to
Our Blessed Mother. Later, at 6:30p.m., Mass
will be celebrated by Fr. Louie followed by dinner in the
gym. All are warmly welcome to join us for any of the festiv-
ities! There will be several pots of delicious pozole available
for dinner. If you would like to contribute to the menu in any
way , please bring whatever you wish to share. This year’s
celebration will feature real life Mariachis !!!!!
Wow, it’s amazing how hardened the hearts of these leaders are. They live in denial of what is good. They have convinced themselves that they know God’s will so they do not want Jesus’ forgiveness. They want him to beg them for forgiveness! The criminal on Jesus’ right has been moved by Jesus. He realizes that however much he and the other criminal deserve their fate, Jesus most as-suredly does not. He is know in our Tradition as St. Dis-mas and is the only person from the New Testament that we know from the text is in heaven. He has lived a dismal life, but he repents. The other thief joins with the Jewish leaders and mocks Jesus asking why he cannot save him-self. This is the ultimate irony: Jesus is the only person in history that did not need to be saved by God’s grace. Even our immaculate ever Virgin Mary depended on the Grace of God. St Dismas realized that and asked Jesus to remember him when he came into his Kingdom. By doing that he finally helped build the kingdom on earth. People present were inspired by his confession and profession of faith and today we should be inspired by him to help to build the kingdom of heaven right here on earth.
The School Mass is being moved from Wednesday

There will be no Religious Education classes this week, Happy Thanksgiving! An attitude of gratitude for our blessings in-stead of complaining about what we don't have makes us hap-pier, better friends, and better disciples!
