Dear St. Sebastian Families,
 
This week students in middle school shared their knowledge and expertise in the field of science.  Look to see this program continue to expand as we move into next year.  This will be the first of many S/A to STEM to STEAM nights at St. Sebastian School.  Thank you to our volunteers who provided a delicious dinner option.
 
This weekend the young adults of St. Sebastian Parish will be celebrating the sacrament of Confirmation.  The mass will be on Saturday at 5pm.  Bishop Clark will be presiding with Fr.
