SAINT'S SCOOP
St. Martin's Catholic Elementary School - November 6, 2020
Catholic Education Message:
This year, our schools are embracing the theme of “Choose Joy!” Today, perhaps more importantly than any other year, it is essential that we embrace the words of Pope Francis, that there is no Christian without Joy!
Like our parishes, our schools look very different, and our staff are working very hard to make a safe space for all; however, even in the midst of this, we are called to make our spaces places of Joy for our students and each other. Nurtured not by current events, but by Christ, we “are prepared to give a reason for the hope, for the joy that is within us.”
Today we give thanks for the gift of Catholic Education and the partnership of Parish, school and home that allow us to pass on the light of faith, the joy of faith, to our young people. Please continue to pray for St. Martin's and St. Mary's Catholic Schools, for all Elk Island Catholic Schools and for Catholic Education.
Thank-you and may God bless.
