Teacher & Helper Advent Retreat (Tĩnh Tâm cho Thầy Cô) Saturday, December 2
Xin quý thầy cô tới đúng giờ và họp mặt tại hầm nhà thờ.
On Saturday evening Dec. 2 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., we have invited Father Tom Nguyễn, a Capuchin priest, to come share with all of our BĐH, teachers and helpers for our Advent Retreat. We hope that each of you will take some time as we start Advent to renew your faith in preparation to welcome Baby Jesus this Christmas.
Remember, we can only give what we have ... so let's together receive the graces that God wants to give to us this Advent season, so that we can help our students receive the gift of Baby Jesus in a more meaningful and loving way this Christmas.
Our Advent retreat evening will include dinner, Cha Tom's sharing, reflection and prayer time with each other. There will be Confession time during the retreat.
Please be on time! We will meet in the church basement.

There will be time for all classes in a workshop with Cha, as well as time in the classrooms. Ban Điều Hành will prepare some activities for teachers to lead in class with their students. So teachers do not need to prepare anything, but you will need to be there with your students to lead the activities.
Instructions and the schedule for the day will be printed and placed in your classroom. Please see the high-level schedule below.
Lunch will be served in the classrooms. The parent committee will bring food and drinks to your classroom. Students will eat in the classroom with teachers. Please remind the students to clean up after themselves.
We look forward to a blessed day with Father Tom!
