The Good News
December 11, 2016 - St. John XXIII School
Leadership Team Message
Advent blessings, everyone!
The Third Sunday of Advent, we light the pink candle to remind us to be people of Joy. "The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted" - Isaiah 61:1
The story of Christ's birth is one of promise, hope and love. At today's Mass, several of our EICS students, from both St. John XXIII and OLA, reminded us of the joyful anticipation of our Saviour's birth. Thank you to the parent volunteers, and of course, to our students for the beautiful work they did reenacting the Christmas story for us at Mass today. Here are a few photos...
In Christ,
