Happy Tuesday! And September! Boy, that outside tent sure looks great! Thank you to Herriott's (and others) once more. The students (& staff) really enjoy having it.

Good afternoon, Sabers! Please join our Champaign-Urbana Catholic community in sending off Fr. Lee Brokaw of St. Matthew and St. Boniface parish this weekend. On Sunday, September 6, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., there will be a car parade entering the St. Matthew's parking lot off of Mayfair Road. There will be ushers directing traffic and you will not be allowed to exit your vehicle. Please also wear your masks and maintain social distance, but also, make signs and decorate your vehicle to show Father our love and support. There will also be an optional drop off for cards or gifts. We hope to see you there!
And it's up!
Our overflow tent is going up! Thanks again Herriott's and generous donors!
SENIORS: You will have a chance to paint a parking spot for your senior year! We are working out the details and they will be forthcoming. Stay tuned!
Through the great generosity of Herriott's and some of our STM Families, we have been able to secure a tent for usage at lunches and for classes for this semester. We are so grateful!
If you would like to help cover the cost of the tent or help purchasing some more picnic tables, please feel free to donate here: https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/HighSchoolofStThomasMoreofCha/donate.html. Thank you so much!
Just a normal passing period...
Big night for some of our female athletes last night! Both golf and tennis walked away with wins!! Nice work, ladies!!
Happy 20th anniversary of the first day of classes! It was twenty years ago today that STM opened its doors to welcome students for the first time. What a milestone! Here's to many more first days of school!
Here's the most recent Diocesan Isolation Protocol for exposure to COVID-19. It continues to be updated as more information becomes available. https://5il.co/k2w6
Happy first Friday of school, Sabers! Congratulations to our students, staff, and parents for their hard work and dedication in making it through our first full week of instruction. We here at STM would also like to wish you a blessed feast day of Pope. St. Pius X! He and his papacy are a special gift to our Church, and to our very school, as we have a relic of his in our chapel, so know that when you are here, you can pray in his midst(!). He was especially devoted to the Holy Eucharist, and encouraged frequent reception of Our Lord at Mass, even insisting that children receive their First Holy Communion as soon as they reach the age of reason. Pope St. Pius X came from an impoverished upbringing, and throughout his life he maintained a zeal in caring for and affirming the dignity of the poor. So, let's ask for the specific intercession of this saintly friend in a special way today as we give thanks to God for his holy witness, and may we strive to see one another through God's loving and merciful gaze.
Good afternoon, Sabers! This is just a friendly reminder that if you have not done so already, your 2019-2020 yearbook may be picked up at the school's front office. If you have any questions regarding yearbooks, you may contact me, Miss Lyons, at elyons@hs-stm.org. Thank you!
Class outside? Yes, please!
