Upcoming Events

Homeschool Baseball begins April 25th 3pm at the old Navy Base ball field. Contact Janine for directions.


Next Mom's meeting: 4/23 if we go by the 4th Wednesday (Erin can't make it on Tuesdays),
4/30 if we go by the last Wednesday: 6-8 - let me know what date works best.


Clearly defining the SMCHS, it's goals, and intentions is the paramount goal at this meeting unless we want to have a separate meeting for that purpose-let me know.


We also need to discuss the Marine Darling field trip-are we having one?


Ascension Day picnic


End of year Talent Show


Are there any dates and/or upcoming events I'm forgetting? I feel like there are but then again, I am growing another human being which is a brain drain......



Prayers and Holy Week activities

Hi Everyone!  Here is the prayer I have found that we have been praying together in the evenings:



Consecration of the Family to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Most holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
united in perfect love,
as you look upon us with mercy and caring,
we consecrate our hearts,
our lives, our family to you.
We know the beautiful example
of your home in Nazareth was meant to be
a model for each of our families.
We hope to have,
with your help,
the unity and strong,
enduring love you gave to one another.
May our home be filled with joy.
May sincere affection, patience,
tolerance and mutual respect be freely given to all.
May our prayers be filled with the needs of others,
not just ourselves
and may we always be close to your sacraments.
Bless those who are present,
as well as those who are absent,
both the living and the dead;
may peace be among us
and when we are tested,
grant us the Christian acceptance of God's will.
Keep our family close to your Hearts;
may your special protection be with us always.
Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
hear our prayer.

AND___HOLY WEEK IS COMING!!!  I have wanted to do a Christian Seder meal, like we did years ago with our friends the Lombardo's.  With John's schedule I need to just do these things on my own....SOOOOO  I am thinking of a daytime, child friendly Seder on Holy Thurdsday, maybe from 1-3 pm or noon-2.  It would involve prayers and eating--and we would share responsibility for bringing the different foods that symbolize the first passover.  Anyone interested?  ALSO--I have my own pysanki egg kit now, so I can decorate and dye eggs whenever I want to.  This is not a young child friendly activity since
we work with raw eggs and toxic dye and fire--fun!!!  Does anyone want to come over with their older children and join in the egg decorating fun on evening this week or next?
