What’s Mrs. Boice Up to Now?
Glad you asked! In an effort to get to know some of our neighboring parishes
and priests, I am planning to do a Round Robin trip to each of our seven community
parishes. This Sunday, August 23rd, I plan to attend the 10:30 a.m. Mass at St. Anastasia. I
owe Father Tim big time for leaving him off the fab list of seven parishes...all supporters of Cathedral Parish School!! Hoping to see the students and families of St. Anastasia Catholic Church
when I come to visit. Please stop by and say hello to me after Mass.
A SPECIAL THANKS GOES OUT
TO:
Father Tom
Father Terry
Father Jeff
Father Lawrence
Deacon Chuck
& Dr. Sans
The celebration of the Opening
liturgy of the school year was
awesome!
My Installation as Principal of
CPS!!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY—450TH EVENT PARKING
Looking to get a jump start on your volunteer hours? We have the perfect opportunity
coming right up! On Friday, September 4th and Saturday, September 5th, CPS will be selling
parking spots on our campus on St. George Street and we need volunteers to man the parking lot and money table. On Friday, September 4th, the school will be having a NOON Dismissal due to the many street closings for the start of the city’s 450th celebration. With
the potential for strangers on campus and the hectic downtown traffic, there will be NO
aftercare that day. We will be selling parking from 1:00-10:00 p.m. on Friday, and from 9:00
a.m. until 11:00 p.m. on Saturday. Spots will be $20 for one day and $40 for a two day pass.
We will use the easy Sign Up Genius for anyone wanting to volunteer. The link to sign up will
be emailed to parents Thursday, August 20th. Just click on the link, then click on the time
frame you want to volunteer. Also, if 2 volunteers from the same family are volunteering at
the same time, please check 2 time slots. Volunteers will be allowed to park in the back
teachers parking lot for the time they are working. We are hoping to raise a ton of money, so
come help support our school! Questions? Please email Lesa Manfredo @ [email protected]
Thanks so much!!! Lesa Manfredo
