Disciple Dispatch


December 19, 2025

As we enter the 4th week of Advent, we focus on love and joyful anticipation as we prepare our hearts for the birth of Jesus. This week invites us to reflect on Mary’s yes, trust in God’s plan, and the gift of Christ’s love entering our world. May our school community continue to grow in faith, kindness, and hope as we draw closer to Christmas.
