GRADUATING STUDENTS – POLICIES AND DEADLINES: In the past, it has been the practice of some graduating students to leave their Community Service Hours to the last month of school, thereby jeopardizing their graduation in June. As a result, the following policies are now in place at Mother Teresa:
· PROM: All graduating students must have completed their 40 hours of community service if they intend to attend their graduation dance. The earlier the better! Hours must be submitted to Student Services by Friday May 11th, 2012.
- GRADUATION: In order to attend the Graduation Ceremony, students must have the 40 hours of community service completed by Friday June 11, 2012.
Forms are available in Student Services, the main office, or on the Mother Teresa website. (SD –Dec 9)
GRADUATION INFO: The MT Graduation Ceremony for the class of 2012 will be held at Mother Teresa on Thursday June 28 at 1:00 pm. Each student will be given 2 tickets for guests.

A MESSAGE FROM FR. JESSI: Dear Parishioners, Good day and December is already here! Many of us will be extremely busy during this month ~ visiting families, attending Christmas parties, shopping, working over-time at work before the New Year begins, etc. It is important to step back and spend time to rest, to pray and to be in a prayerful mood during this Advent Season in preparation for the celebration of our Lord Jesus' Birth. Please check the Parish website (see the link above) for the Parish Schedule for this month. It includes the schedule for the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confessions) in our parish and our neighboring parishes that offer Confessions during Advent. I encourage you to avail on this wonderful sacrament in preparation for Christmas and the New Year. May the Lord Jesus Christ always bless your heart with peace and true joy during this Advent Season and on Christmas and the New Year 2012. + Father Jessi. (FJT –Dec 9)
