Calling All Former Alum Passion Play Participants, School & Faith Formation

As we prepare for our upcoming Passion Play, we find ourselves reflecting with gratitude on those who have helped bring this sacred story to life in years past. Your involvement as a 7th and 8th grader a few years ago or many, many years ago as a Passion Play participant at St. Valentine left a lasting mark, and it would be a true blessing to welcome you back on Good Friday, April 3rd as part of the “crowd”.

We warmly invite you to join us again—The Passion Play is not only a performance, but an opportunity for fellowship, reflection, and shared faith, and your presence would mean a great deal to us.

If you feel called to participate or would like more information, we would love to hear from you. Please email Bonnie Danic at bdanic@stvalentineschool.com

Bambinelli Sunday – December 13/14

On the weekend of December 13/14th we are continuing the tradition we started last year; Bambinelli Sunday. The tradition of Bambinelli Sunday was begun during the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II to remind families about the joyous event of Baby Jesus’ arrival in the manger and is celebrated on the third Sunday of Advent.  This tradition takes place in many states and countries, and we would like to continue this at our parish. We are asking our families to bring Baby Jesus figurines from their home Nativity sets to the church for a special blessing.  (Just the Baby Jesus)
