St. Luke Weekly SMORE
May 23, 2022
Leadership Message
This week we will be celebrating Catholic Education week. This week is an opportunity to publicly celebrate our mission, our successes, our students, and our future together in service of the Gospels.
Our Prayer Intentions for Catholic Education Week:
We pray for all educators, administrators and staff who dedicate themselves daily to authentic Catholic education
We pray for all students, for their safety and their learning, that they may know the love of God
We pray for all families, that they may grow in faith and unite in their prayers
Every year, 40 days after Easter on Ascension Thursday, Catholics across the globe give thanks for the gift of Catholic education through the celebration of World Catholic Education Day. It is a time for Catholics around the world to take a moment to pause, reflect, and pray on the gift that is Catholic education. All are invited to wear blue on World Catholic Education Day May 26, 2022. #IbelieveinCatholicEd #BlueforCatholicEd #CatholicEducationWeek #calledtomore
We also look forward to seeing many of you at our OPEN HOUSE on Wednesday. This will be a great opportunity to connect with our school community. Please join us for a BBQ and a chance to connect with our school community.
Have a great week!

Principal
