News From Mrs. Bethune:
Hello all,
It was a busy week at school this week. We got to celebrate the first week of Advent together! We have a special tradition where we meet in the atrium after Mass on Monday and we all pray together, sing a song, talk about the meaning of the candle, and light the candle on the wreath. This week we had a special Advent wreath blessing. It was such a beautiful moment to share as a school. We also held a day of Adoration and Benediction. It is always so neat to see the students praying, listening, and talking to Jesus in this wonderful experience.
There will be information coming home about Staff Christmas Bonuses. The collection will be taken up again during the Christmas Program as well as during all the Sunday Masses the weekend of the 17th. We appreciate all the donations you can give. The amount of money is split evenly among all teachers and staff and always brings happiness to them during this season of giving.
Next week we have a special visitor coming to see us. Fr. James R. Kelleher will be visiting our school to talk with the students about The Holy Rosary. Bishop Conley has invited him to speak at all schools and we are looking forward to hosting him at St. Patrick's on Monday, December 11th. We will also have a Boys Basketball SPIRIT DAY on this day with a pep rally for the team in the afternoon at 2:30pm. We are still in need of volunteers to help with the Boys Basketball games on Monday night. Please sign up below if you can help!
May your second Sunday of Advent be filled with hope and anticipation for the Birth of our Lord.
God Bless,
Mrs. Bethune
