PRAYER of the WEEK

Prayer for Calmness


As he sat by the river, 

the eyes of his understanding began to be opened;

not that he saw any vision, 

but he understood and learnt many things,

both spiritual matters and matters of faith and of scholarship, 

and this with so great an enlightenment

that everything seemed new to him

-Ignatius of Loyola, The Autobiography

CAMPUS VISITORS

All visitors must check in with the front office. We are asking that on-campus visitors check-in for the safety of our students and teachers. We want to make sure that safety and privacy is maintained at all times. If you do notice a gate unlocked, leaving our students vulnerable, please notify the office immediately so that we can remedy the situation. St. David thanks you for your vigilance and cooperation in maintaining safety.

First Week

ACCOMPLISHED!

CORNER OF FAITH AND KNOWLEDGE

Dear Families, 


Calling this first week of school a whirlwind would be an understatement. Thank you for the love and support provided to our St. David faculty and staff. I appreciate the gentleness and care taken in communicating your needs. Your stories and experiences shared with me this week have also been fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourselves and finding a connection of how our paths cross.


The New (School) Year is always an emotional time for many. For some, it’s a joyous feeling to go back to school, reconnect with old friends, get back into a routine, and all the fresh school supplies. For others, it’s a time of uncertainty, anxiety, grieving what was before, and a fear of what’s to come. I share all of those emotions with you as it is exciting to join a loving community while knowing that I follow a beloved and strong leader. 


Again, I am grateful that I joined the St. David community and that you’re all walking this journey with me. Our young people are so lucky to have our dedicated and hard-working teachers to guide them on their academic path. Most of all, our students are fortunate to have families who value faith and knowledge as much as St. David of Wales Catholic School. Many blessings to you all!



With gratitude,

Ms. Medrano
