MCCHS FRIDAY FOCUS
54th Edition: December 8, 2017
Pilgrims on the Way of Truth
Today's All School Mass provided some much needed time to simply be present. Rev. Beekman spoke to the students about overcoming our fears. As the days leading up to our holiday break become increasingly frenetic and we may fear we will run out of time to get everything accomplished, let us remember the words from today's homily and invite God into our hearts. We may not be able to change the length of our to-do lists, but we can remind ourselves why we are doing all these tasks.
Thank you, dear families, for sharing your students with us. They make us laugh, learn, grow, and want to be better for them every day. They are the why in our every effort.
