Fully Present. April 14, 2022
Moving Along with Mrs. Maddox
Dear St. Joseph Families,
Happy Paschal Triduum! As we all prepare for the next four holy and beautiful days, we anxiously await the Resurrection of our Risen Lord. Easter morning gives each of us new hope. This is an opportunity to live with new purpose in pursuit of God’s plan for each of us. St. Catherine of Siena said, "Be who God meant for you to be and you will set the world on fire." What an awesome message for all of us to hear, especially at Easter time. I pray this season of new hope gives each of us, especially our students, the desire to live out God’s plan, and the courage to seek His will. It is this sentiment that gives us (St. Joseph Catholic School) our primary focus. We do not just help expand minds in reading, math, and science; we want students to know the truth of the Gospel. We want to help students understand their life has purposely been authored by God to do incredible things. May the joy of the season penetrate your home and hearts as we celebrate the Risen Christ together in pursuit of his plan for us!!!
With a Grateful Heart,
Jodie Maddox
