SATURDAY SUPPERS

Bringing the community together at long communal tables in the parish hall after mass, these delicious and affordable dinners are held 3 to 4 times per year. Everyone is welcome and dinners usually include entertainment for the kids, draw prizes and raffles.

WELCOME BACK BBQ

Sponsored by our PAC and PEC members so we can (re)connect with our families, leadership team, and staff. All school families are invited to our Welcome Back to School BBQ on the first school Friday, in September in the Parish Gardens. All SFA students receive a ticket for a meal and there is food for parents to purchase for themselves and siblings. Please bring your picnic blankets and any additional food items you would like.
