life. Come put your faith into action. This year, we will be

just one hour of your time, please sign up at our table in the

THE DRAMA CLUB PRESENTS… – Many of the students
of The Atonement Academy have been rehearsing for months
for their autumn production: “Fiddler on the Roof,” which
will be presented in Saint Anthony Hall on Friday and
Saturday evening at 7pm on Oct. 16th and 17th. Fiddler on the
Roof is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the
Dairyman), a series of stories by Sholem Aleichem that he
wrote in Yiddish between 1894 and 1914. Tevye, a poor Jewish
milkman with five daughters, explains the customs of the Jews
in the Russian shtetl of Anatevka in 1905, where their lives are
as precarious as the perch of a ‘fiddler on a roof.’ Beginning in
1964, Fiddler played for 10 years straight on Broadway and is
still one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history. ●
The cast of the Drama Club of the Academy played to packed
houses last year with their productions of Aladdin and The
Sound of Music. Tickets go on sale next week! ● In the spring,
the Drama Club will present the school-version of Victor
Hugo’s Les Misérables, first published in 1862. It is the
world’s longest-running musical playing on London’s West
End, and has been seen by over 65 million people in 42
nations. The historical novel, set in France, begins in 1815 and
culminates in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris. You won’t
want to miss it!
Sunday, Oct. 18 at 4pm – Join us for Solemn Evensong
sung by Musica Sacra of San Antonio.
Olive Wood Sales – Mark your calendars for the return of
the carved olive wood items from the Holy Land on Sunday,
Oct. 25th after all the Masses.
