Happy Thanksgiving!

DID YOU KNOW?   
Today is Thanksgiving Day! There were various Thanksgiving Day celebrations throughout the early years of colonial USA and Canada. It was George Washington who first declared that all the members of the new Union should celebrate Thanksgiving on the same day, Thursday, November 26, 1789. But, not surprisingly, it was Abraham Lincoln who first declared Thanksgiving as a US national holiday in 1863. America's neighbors, the Canadians, celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. 
You're very lucky so it's time to give thanks for a lot of things. If you don't have any ideas, ask the turkey...

Saint Joseph Calasanz Feast Day is coming soon

There are a lot of activities waiting for you on 26th November: a mass, hot chocolate, playground games and Galasanz show. Come, celebrate and have some fun!
