A message from our principal
Today is the first school day of September and we prayed a decade of the Holy Rosary.
Our intention today was for SAINT TERESA OF CALCUTTA.
Saint Teresa served the poorest of the poor. She answered the questions that Jesus asked in Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 25,
The Last Judgment: Did you feed the hungry? Give drink to the thirsty? Welcome the stranger? Clothe the naked? Cared for the ill? Visited those in prison?
It’s so special for our children to experience this wonderful woman be canonized and chose to serve the poor with love. It the message that our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has called us to do.
Next week, we have the chance to welcome the stranger by collecting hygiene kits for Catholic Charities. The 7th graders will be coordinating this project and will have a flier for distribution later this week. Each grade will have a particular item(s) to collect and bring to school.
Our Heavenly Father calls each of us to love one another. Please join us by helping provide for the needy and underprivileged.
May God continue to bless each of your families.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
