BAPTISMS
Baptisms are every Sunday at 1:00 PM. Parents are asked to call the Parish Center and speak with the Priest or Deacon who is on call and who will assist them in registering their child for Baptism. The Church assists the parents by offering instruction on the meaning, importance, and responsibilities of the sacrament of Baptism. A Pre-Jordan Baptismal Program for helping parents prepare for the spiritual birth of their child is held on the fourth Sunday of the month in the Spirituality Center following the Noon Mass.
WEDDINGS
Couples planning to marry are asked to contact a Parish priest to make arrangements for a wedding.

Dear Parishioners,
50th Anniversary
Saint Anselm School
1963/64 - 2013/14
This coming school year will be the 50th year that Saint Anselm School will have been educating children. We will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of our school throughout its 50th year. God will be praised and thanked for the many blessings and graces that have been bestowed upon our school.
Blue and Gold Flags will line the street; commemorative banners have been hung on the front and back of the school building.
50th Anniversary events will be publicized in the bulletin.
On Sunday March 2nd, there will be a Mass of Thanksgiving at Noon, followed by a luncheon, an Open House in the School, and events in Our Lady of Victory Hall. Please spread the word to our School’s alumni, former parishioners, teachers, IHM Sisters and ask them to save the date.
Tuition Assistance
There are a few families in our parish who could use some assistance in paying their tuition to Saint Anselm School. Low income, unemployment or sickness has caused the need. If anyone is able and willing to help, please contact me.
10 Miles per Hour in the Parking Lot
The beginning of a new school year is a good time for us to remind all drivers to drive slowly in the parking lot. During school hours and even after school hours, children are in the parking lot which is also a school yard for recreational activities.
Parking – School Hours
During school hours, please do not park in the parking lot area nearest the school. This part of the parking lot boarded by the Church and school will be used for school recess and for the after school CARES program. Also, should there be an emergency, no parking in this area will give free access to the school building for emergency response vehicles such as fire engines and ambulances.
There is plenty of parking back by the garage and fence.
School Security & Entrance to School Building
The world in which we live has caused the implementation of many security and safety precautions. All schools, including Saint Anselm School, are concerned about the safety of students, teachers and others in the school building. All in the school need to be protected from violent and angry persons and, at times, from non-custodial parents.
All visitors to Saint Anselm School are to enter the school building via the outside door to the main office. This door is on the schoolyard side of the school and it is accessible from the parking lot behind the school.
Visitors mean everyone – parents, lunch mothers, volunteers, sales persons, and people in parish organizations who have school business.
People coming to purchase Scrip are to enter the Scrip room, which also has a door accessible from the back parking lot.
All visitors must sign in and out. In the event of a fire or fire drill, the secretary needs to take this book with her as she exits a building just as a teacher takes her roll book so the school can check that all have made it safely out of the building.
Please do not try to enter the school through the Church or the Parish Center.
Please cooperate with this. Thank you.
Parish Visitation
Father Friel, Deacon Whartenby, Deacon Warner and Fr. Dunleavy will be doing the annual Parish Visitation during September. The purpose of our visit is simply to say hello, to meet you in your home, to ask if the Church can help you in any way, and to say a prayer to ask God’s blessing on your family and home.
