It's Back to School Time!!

To start the new school year off, we want to help as many children as we can and ensure they will have new school supplies. Father Lee will bless the backpacks and supplies on Sunday, August 15 at the 10:30 Service. It will be a fun service as you will get to preview our Kids Faith Center programming before our launch this fall and we will commission our Sunday School teachers for the coming year!

You can drop off your donated school supplies at the Parish Office, M-F, between 9 am - 4 pm. 

Some suggestions are:

  • Backpacks
  • 3-ring binder
  • Notebook paper
  • Spiral Notebooks
  • Pocket Folders
  • Crayons
  • Highlighters
  • Glue sticks
  • Colored pencils
  • Pencil Sharpener
  • #2 Pencils
  • Pink Erasers
  • Ruler 12"--2-sided: Inches and Centimeters
  • Black, blue or red pens

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

If you have any questions, please call Carol Ann at (954) 753-1400 or Sue Slimack at (954) 821-8761.

About the Author
Carol Ferrari-Rogers

My husband, Steve, and I moved to Coral Springs from California at the end of August 2017 just before Hurricane Irma made her debut.  Needless to say, it was a stressful learning experience, not only moving 3,000 miles but preparing for a powerful hurricane.  Thankfully, Irma didn’t cause as much damage as expected and we only experienced minor issues.

I earned my B.S. degree from Monmouth University and worked many years in the corporate environment as a Compliance Officer with Prudential and an Operations executive with Ringler Associates.  With Ringler, I oversaw all operational functions of the company including AP, AR, Payroll, and Human Resources. 

In my spare time, I find myself sewing or quilting.  I started my quilting business, Coziness Quilts (cozinessquilts.com) in 2016 and I enjoy teaching quilting and sewing classes.

I started working as the Parish Administrator at St. M&M in mid-October 2020; in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.  I am committed to meeting new challenges and supporting St. M & M’s core values, mission statement, vision, and the many ministries in the congregation.
