“Asking genuine questions that arise from curiosity rather than
presumption helps us to be more deeply aware of God’s presence in
those around us. Staying curious about others allows us to revere
the mystery of another person. Staying curious gives us room to
be surprised by God.”
Our Ignatian virtues for October are “Curious and Active.”
Students in a Jesuit school are growing to be curious about
everything; and active in their engagement with the world,
changing what they can for the better.

November is a time for remembering and praying for our loved ones
who have gone before us and whose loss we feel. It is a time when
we are particularly conscious of those in our parish and school
who are grieving and all of the families who have lost loved ones
in the past year.
Let us give thanks for their presence in our lives and offer
grateful prayers to our loving God, who has given us everything
that is good.

We have heard a rumor that Dennis Uniforms has closed its doors
permanently. I have reached out to our rep, but no
reply. Many of our schools have contracted with
Dennis. To make matters worse, we have families that have
paid for an order that they may never receive. We are
working to find out the facts. I will keep you
posted.
JV (5th & 6th grades) and Varsity (7th & 8th grades) Boys and
Girls Basketball begins Tuesday, November 12th.
Participants must attend both days of tryouts unless they receive
permission from the Athletic Director.
SI has a “No cut, no quit” policy. All participants at
tryouts will be placed on a team. Tryouts are closed to all
except named head coaches administration, and invited community
members. Please refer to the Athletics Basic Information
handout and the School handbook for all Athletic
policies.
As parents, we know that once you pick up the kids from school
it’s a mad sprint of activities, homework, after school snacks,
dinner and bedtime. Before you engage in the sprint, you can
prepare yourself with a little quiet time. And we have a great
place prepared for you inside the Church. The Church is open for
school families from 2 -3 p.m.
