Eucharistic Miracle Sokolka, Poland 2008

Loving Lord, give me the strength and perseverance to follow the narrow path that leads to Your Kingdom. Keep me faithful to Your journey and close to Your heart. Amen.

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,” Matthew 25:35

Dear Parents,

As we conclude October, I would like to start by expressing my gratitude to our Parent Association who hosted a wonderful Eat and Treat this year.

All families are invited to mark their calendars for the Humanities Night on November 13 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. The event will showcase student work connected with our faith, writing, reading, social studies, and the arts. There will be an exhibit in the gym with student work from across the grade levels on display. Additionally, there will be interactive sessions that families can participate in together. We hope to see you there!

It’s difficult to believe that the holidays will be here soon, but tomorrow is the start of a new month. I would like to share a new initiative that is intended to provide new families with the opportunity to experience our wonderful school. The new initiative is called: 3rd Quarter for Free, and it will allow families an opportunity to come to our school for the third quarter. It is our expectation and hope that new students will finish the year with us and return for the following year.

If you know a family who may be interested in joining our wonderful community, please share this new initiative with them. For more information, please read the full explanation here.

God Bless,

Erin Vu
