Merry Christmas
Dear families,
We have reached the joyous season of Christmas. As I think back on this term, my heart feels full. I cannot say enough about this wonderful community. Your children are friendly, kind, compassionate, and honest. As a parent community, you are welcoming, generous, and supportive. The culture you have built here is one of faith and community. St. Michael's truly is a special place.
Thank you to our Pastor, Monsignor Rossi for his steadfast leadership and guidance. To our staff, who give of themselves to support every one of our students, and to all of you, for entrusting us with the care and education of your children. We are very blessed.
As Christmas approaches, our days are joy-filled, yet busy. Occasionally, we get distracted from the true meaning of Christmas. I pray that as you gather as a family over the break, you feel God’s loving embrace and are blessed with His grace. I hope you can take some extra time to pray together and feel God close to you amid the busy preparations. Christmas Day is the Solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ and is a Holy Day of Obligation. We encourage you to join us at the 8:30 AM Mass, where our school choir will lead us in song.
May you and your loved ones be filled with the Joy of Christ this Christmas and I wish you all a blessed, happy, and healthy New Year.
Mrs. Grant
