Dear Parents,
On Wednesday, November 1st, we celebrate All Saints Day, a holy day of obligation. If you really look at saints, they had a few things in common. They were always talking to God in prayer. They always wanted to make God happy because they loved Him so much. They weren't just thinking about themselves all the time. They were thinking about what God wanted them to do.
We thank God for the many wonderful saints that followed Jesus down through the ages. Help us to follow their good examples and to remember what a blessing it is to be in the same family of faith. Please join us for First Friday Mass on November 3rd and watch our 1st through 3rd grade students in their Parade of Saints.
Below are a few school updates and reminders:
- Community Homeroom will be held tomorrow morning beginning at 8:30 AM in the school gym.
- On Monday, October 30th, we will hold our annual Pumpkin Contest, Pre K parade and Prayer Buddy activity. Please see below for Pumpkin Contest information.
- School will be closed on Tuesday, October 31st and Wednesday, November 1st.
Thank you for your constant support and prayers for our school. I encourage you to continue to support our work as we advance our mission to provide a transformative education steeped in academics and faith to our deserving students. There is no greater investment for forming our future saints than a Catholic education!
Please carefully review this week's newsletter for many reminders and updates. We thank you for entrusting your children to us and for the sacrifices you make each day to send your child(ren) to Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School.
God's peace,
Mrs. Barbara Riley
Principal
