As a partner of Madonna School and Community Based Services, our families are invited to their upcoming events.  Those events are:

A celebration of Sister Evangeline’s (Madonna’s foundress) 100th birthday with an evening Mass at St. Pius X on September 25 with a reception to follow in the parish center. The mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Lucas and mass is open to the public and the light reception is free afterwards.

The Angel Fare luncheon on October 30 at 11:30 am at St. Robert Bellarmine parish with a presentation by author, speaker and advocate Madra Sikora. The luncheon fundraiser is $50 per person and requires an RSVP by October 21.

Madonna School recently applied to become a recipient of First National Bank’s 2019 Community First Award and has advanced to the second round of voting!  The award recognizes a local non-profit for having a positive impact on the Omaha community; the organization with the most votes will receive a $25,000 cash donation, and the second- and third-place winners will receive a $10,000 and $5,000 cash donation, respectively.

The second round of voting takes place next week (September 9-13), when nearly 5,000 First National Bank employees will have the opportunity to place daily votes for their favorite organization/project to advance as a finalist for the public vote.  The Madonna community is asking for your help in encouraging others to support inclusive special education and adult services with their votes!

What You Can Do To Help: 

• Share Facebook posts about the vote – you never know which one of your Facebook friends might work at First National
• Reach out personally to any First National employees you may know … in conversation, via text or call OR by cutting and pasting this very email

Those who advance to the next round will be notified around September 18^th – we hope to be sharing more good news with you then!  Thank you for your support!
