"Every child, every person needs to know they are a source of joy; every child, every person needs to be celebrated". Jean Vanier
Adoration
What an amazing week we have had with our Jean Vanier village during our Adoration! We want to extend our sincere gratitude to all of our staff and parents, Father Pierre, Brother Joe, OLPH church staff, Trustees, Central Learning Services team, music ministry, and our students for all of the preparation, prayers, reverence, time, and teaching spent leading up to and during Adoration. Special thanks to Brother Joe for spending time with our students preparing them for the day, and to Mrs. Boehm for her faith leadership, and gentle guidance to our Living Christ as she led our classes in Adoration. The sense of peace, love, and hope could be felt during our Adoration Mass, in the halls as students and staff gave reverence as they passed by the Blessed Sacrament, and especially, in our chapel space with Christ.
There were so many special stories we have heard already and we invite our parents to please share the stories you heard at home with us by emailing either: Mrs. Boehm: bonnie-lynneb@eics.ab.ca or Mrs. Wispinski: lisaw@eics.ab.ca so we can share these moments with Christ with our community.
"Let the little children come unto me". -Mark 10:14
