Dear Principals and Directors,

 

On the Feast of St. Luke, let us reflect upon the unwavering dedication of this patron saint of physicians and healers. St. Luke's commitment to healing and compassion should inspire us all in our mission to nurture the minds, hearts, and souls of our students. May his example guide us in fostering a community of love, care, and learning within our Catholic schools. Let us continue to be beacons of faith and knowledge, emulating St. Luke's spirit of service and excellence.

 

Joyfully,

EANS IIA GUIDANCE


Thank you to everyone for your work in getting this round of EANS funding. Our diocesan schools received over $5 million for this round of funding for a total of $15.6 million in EANS funding. As I’ve said before, there is no such thing as “free” money, so thank you for giving your time so generously! 


You can find the EANS IIA allocations at the end of the attached EANS IIA Guidance document (or this link). More info to come, including Information/planning Zooms. 

Taken from the opening Synod prayers this weekend :


"Oh God, who cares for all, let the whole of humanity who have one origin from you, form one family, without violence, without absurd wars, and with brotherly spirit, live united in peace and concord for our Lord Jesus Christ Your Son who is God, lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.”


“Lord, we pray to you for the Holy Land, for the people of Israel and Palestine who are under the grip of unprecedented violence, for the victims, especially the children, for the wounded, for those held hostage, for the missing and their families. In these hours of anguish and suspension, we join our voices to that of the Pope and to the choral prayer of those around the world who implore peace.”


"Help us, Lord, to commit ourselves to building a fraternal world so that these peoples and those in the same conditions of conflict of instability and violence may find the path of respect for human rights where justice, dialogue, and reconciliation are the indispensable tools for building peace."


Do you have prayer intentions that you would like our school communities to lift up? Complete this form to submit them for future Wednesday WOWs!
