A Note from the Interim Principal
Happy 2016! I pray everyone had a wonderful and relaxing break. Both the students and teachers seem rejuvenated and ready to kick off the second-half of the school year!
In addition to the miracle of Christmas, the Feast of the Holy Family was celebrated while we were on break. On Sunday, December 27th, we honored the Feast of The Holy Family. May we strive to model our own families after that of Mary, Joseph and Jesus. With the Holy Family as our patron, we especially seek to focus on this family and emulate their love, humility and faith in all we do.
Loving God,
During this holy season of Christmas,
we ask for your blessing on all families.
Let Mary's openness to your wondrous ways be
an inspiration to place all trust in you.
Let Joseph's courage provide hope during
times of anxiety and uncertainty.
Let Jesus' life ignite all families with a spirit
of light and love.
May the grace that encircled the Holy Family
widen to embrace all families.
For this we pray.
Amen.
