ONLY TWO MORE CHANCES TO SEE “SOUND OF MUSIC”! This is a splendid show, from the first notes of “If I Were a Rich Man,” to the last notes of “Climb Every Mountain.” The last two shows are Friday and Saturday evening at 6:30 PM. You don’t want to miss this beautiful production, which shows the Seton community at its best. ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE TO THE SHRINE OF ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON IN EMMITSBURG, MARYLAND, SUNDAY, MAY 7. This pilgrimage is a source of great graces. Mass is at 11:00 in the Basil-ica of the Shrine. On the way to the Shrine, pray the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. At 10:30, we will pray the Luminous Mysteries in the Basilica. After the Mass, we will have a picnic at the nearby pavilion. You may want to take time to see the museum and slide show downstairs in the Shrine or to visit some of the build-ings from Mother Seton’s time. At 3:00 PM we will pray the Sorrowful Mysteries on the Rosary Walk at the Lourdes Grotto. Pray the Glorious Mysteries on the return trip.
Each family should bring its own pic-nic. Dress appropriately for Mass. For the picnic, you may change into casual clothes (shorts should be fin-gertip length and tops should have sleeves).
From Manassas, take 234 to Route 15. Follow Route 15 North all the way to Emmitsburg. When you reach Emmitsburg, watch for signs for the Shrine. You will be making a left turn at the light. Allow about two hours from Manassas.
2017-2018 Financial Aid Forms are now available.
Please see Mrs Cooper.

MAY 13 ADORATION TO HONOR THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
FIRST APPEARANCE OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA. On Saturday, May 13,
we will have adoration in the Seton Chapel beginning at 10:00 AM and extending
throughout the day. A plenary indulgence can be gained by all those who partici-
pate in this devotion. According to the Vatican document, an indulgence can be
gained by “the pious faithful who visit with devotion a statue of Our Lady of Fatima
solemnly exposed for public veneration in any church, oratory or proper place dur-
ing the days of the anniversary of the apparitions, the 13th of each month from
May to October (2017), and there devoutly participate in some celebration or pray-
er in honor of the Virgin Mary.”
Those seeking an indulgence must also pray an Our Father, recite the Creed and
invoke Our Lady of Fatima. The usual conditions apply: Go to confession within 8
days before or after the devotion, receive Holy Communion the same day, pray for the intentions of the
Holy Father and be from all attachment to sin.

ACT TEST PREP CLASS: ARE YOU READY FOR THE ACT? SUMMER IS A GREAT TIME TO PREPARE! COME JOIN MY CLASS!
My ACT prep curriculum includes identifying possible colleges to apply to, researching the ACT test scores
needed for those schools, an in depth study of each subject area on the test, and strategies to maximize a
personal best score. We will practice tests in an untimed format, then move to practicing the test when timed and using a "bubble" answer sheet. I have developed this curriculum over the past 8 years and my
strategies reflect the most recent changes made to the test. I am a certified teacher with a Master's degree
and over 20 years of teaching experience. Prefer one on one tutoring? Contact me!
When: Mondays, 11:00-12:00. June 12-July 31. 8 classes for $160.
Tuesdays, 9:00-10:00, June 13-Aug 1 (no class July 4), 7 classes for $140.
