A Message From our Principal
This morning at our Monday prayer service, we prayed The Divine Mercy Chaplet. The message of The Divine Mercy Chaplet is simple. It is that God loves us---all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish Nun who, in obedience, recorded the revelations she received from Jesus about God’s mercy.
After School Care this Friday, March 9, closes at 3pm.
There will be no After School Care on Holy Thursday, March 29.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
