From Fr. Bob Hi everyone… May God bless you in these difficult days.. I am praying for you all and imagine everyone that wants to be at Mass with me as I’m standing at the altar facing an empty church. Tuesday night, one of my dear seminary classmates put this quotation in a text.. You may have seen it already but I thought it was perfect. Written by popular Christian author, C. S. Lewis, in 1942 SATAN; “ I will cause anxiety, fear and panic. I will shut down businesses, schools, places of worship and sports events. I will cause economic turmoil. “ JESUS; “ I will bring together neighbors, restore the family unit, I will bring dinner back to the kitchen table. I will help people slow down their lives and appreciate what really matters. I will teach my children to rely on me and not the world. I will teach my children to trust me and not their money and material resources.
Today we will continue our look at our amazing teaching staff by featuring our 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Karen Miller. We also want to announce two upcoming events that our school families are planning: our annual Christmas Candlelight House Tour (a holiday tradition for over three decades now), and our new Holiday Vendor Sale. Both will take place Sunday, December 8th. Details will be available in future bulletins, and tickets for the Christmas Candlelight House Tour will be on sale later this month.
This week we are taking a break from our teacher spotlight in order to wrap up the first quarter of the school year. Our students have been working hard at their studies these last few months. Activities such as band, forensics, Math Counts and English Fest have begun. Our Student Council members have been elected. And our 6th, 7th and 8th grade students have been busy working with their preschool, Kindergarten and 1st grade buddies! We are proud of all their efforts.
