September 16, 2017
Hello everyone!
What a blessed first day we had! Thank you to all teachers and helpers for welcoming students and parents with open hearts and warm smiles. Thank you to c. Thảo for planning out such a fun first-day festival for the students. Thank you to c. Đào for preparing such a meaningful commissioning mass for our catechists and volunteers. Thank you a. Lộc for capturing the day so beautifully with photos (see the link below). And THANK YOU GOD for the opportunity to be your missionary disciples to bring your children closer to you!
It's your day everyone!! This Sunday the United States Conference of Catholic has designated as Catechetical Sunday for 2017. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.
While we were all commissioned last week during Mass, I hope that you will find some extra time this Sunday to nourish your souls so that you can bring Christ's joy to all those in our parish, especially the youth whom God has given us to share His love.
You are in my prayers always.
In Christ,
Chi

Teacher Meeting -- with Special Guest :-)
A few important announcements and time for your feedback and suggestions based on how the first day went.
Also, Cha Khánh asked to visit us during our first teacher meeting, so he will be stopping by to say hello and a few words!
Oh, and don't forget there will also be lunch for all of you! Please come as quickly as possible to grab lunch and get settled for the meeting.

A Catechist’s Prayer
Father of all families, you have called me to serve the family in truth and love as a catechist. May I be faithful to this call, rooted in your Word, and open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. May I use these gifts, especially the gifts of faith, hope, and love, to serve the family as a witness to you, who are love and life and the source and destiny of all families. Let your Spirit enlighten my mind and strengthen my heart so that I can be a path of Christ’s love to families, especially those in need, the homebound and aged, the disabled and disheartened. Through the intercession of Mary and Joseph, I pray for the Church, the Bride of Christ, whose mission to build a civilization of love passes through the family. Amen.
