6th & 7th Grade Retreat at Camp Carter
A message from our principal
This morning we prayed (in song) the Divine Mercy Chaplet. This prayer was revealed to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in 1935. The Lord revealed a powerful prayer the He wanted everyone to say and He promised extraordinary graces to those who would pray this beautiful prayer.
Tomorrow is All Hallows’ Eve. Hallows is an old name for saints, and it’s the night before our two great celebrations of the saints.
Wednesday, November 1, is the Solemnity of All Saints, honoring both the saints whose names we know and the even larger number of saints we don’t know.
School community will attend 12pm Mass and there will be NO school Mass on Thursday.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament has been moved to Thursday, November 9.
Peace In Christ,
Dr. Shreve
