Celebrating Mary

On Wednesday, December 8, SRLA celebrated the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Mother Mary. During the second week of Advent we take a moment to reflect on the importance of when Mary was conceived in the womb of her mother St. Anne without the original sin of Adam and Eve.

Mary was pure, free of all sin, and considered to be divine, which would later allow her to deliver Jesus the Messiah. What a wonderful way to remember Mary, as someone that is not only significant to us, but as a comforter, healer, and nurturer.

Tune In to the Christmas Concert!

SRLA will host a pre-recorded presentation of our virtual Christmas Concert on Thursday, December 16 at 7:00 pm.

Ms. Diana de la Vina Sierra will lead our Kindergarten through Eighth Grades in holiday and religious selections for everyone at home.

The concert will be taped on Tuesday, December 14. Students are asked to dress in festive holiday colors with lots of red, green, silver, gold, and white!
