Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Second Graders should hand their church envelope directly to the priest at the end of each mass to be marked present for Sunday Services. If a student attends another Church, you should obtain that parish bulletin and have it signed by one of their serving priests. Then give to your teacher every Monday in school.
