Chaplain's Corner- Let Us Encourage and Carry One Another
Archbishop Smith reminds us to break open Scripture so we may better know our loving, gracious and encouraging Creator. The video posted below reminded me of how important it is to encourage, support and when necessary carry those in our lives who are struggling. The poem Footprints reminds us that God promises and speaks to us "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you. Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
Encouragement is like oxygen in the life of a church. It keeps hearts beating, minds clear, and hands inspired to serve. Thank you for encouraging our staff so we can continue to encourage and support your sons/daughters.
Why We Have Catholic Schools
This 2 minute video from CBC is a great reminder of why we exist.
