Saint Michael School Lowell

✝️ ALL SAINTS DAY ✝️

We began the day with “Heavenly” Donuts, then attended a beautiful All Saints Mass. Many of our students dressed up as the Blessed Mother, Saint Michael, angels, St Therese of Lisieux, Blessed Carlo Acutis, St. Lucy, Joan of Arc, and many other saints. After our usual Friday pizza lunch the winners of our All Saints raffle were announced! 😇

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus.” Hebrews 12:1-2

All you holy men and women, pray for us!
