Growing Saints

From the Principal's Office...

Greetings,

Our upper-level students have finalized the calendar for Catholic Schools Week! It looks to be a great week of celebrating who we are and who we serve!

Our Kick-Off Mass will be on Saturday, January 28 at 6 pm at St. Therese. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend. We want to have as many students and families as possible. Please have your children wear their school uniforms. We will be reaching out for students to read and serve at the altar that evening.

The CSW Online Auction will start on Thursday, February 2nd, and run through Saturday, February 4. We have one more week to collect donations. Please see the list below for Classroom baskets, ideas for family baskets to donate, and assorted items needed to complete baskets. All donations are due Wednesday, January 25 so that we have time to photograph everything and get it listed online.

Don't forget to sign up for our first-ever trivia night in the school gym. Please see the attached flyer for all the details. You can pre-register online. If you plan on paying at the door, please know it is cash only that night. Link: https://sttheresecatholicschool-3.factsmgtadmin.com/form/LCAA4KL3f?authToken=__token__

Have a wonderful weekend! Mr. O'Connor and I hope to see some of our students at their basketball games this weekend.

St. Therese, Sts. Cyril and Methodius, pray for us!

Virtue of the Week: January 23-29 Modesty

Definition: Purity of heart in action, especially in regards to dress and speech.

Prayer: Dear Jesus, Give me a pure heart like that of Your holy Mother! Through baptism I have the gift of the Spirit living inside of me. Please increase in me the gift of the fear of the Lord, so that I may never sadden You by the way I dress, act, or speak.

Listen to the Virtue Minute to learn more about the Virtue of Modesty.
