Dear Families,

We are saddened by the tragedy at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. We echo the words of Archbishop Rodi, shared earlier this afternoon on social media (and posted below in this email). Please join us in praying for the families of those who lost their lives, as well as for all members of Annunciation Parish and Catholic School.

In Christ,

Kristy F. Martin

Principal

At Corpus Christi School we love celebrating the lives of the Saints! A patron saint has been assigned to each class by Fr. Pat. These class patron saints will remain the same for each class during their entire time at CCS. The chosen saints offer our students more chances to interact with our Catholic faith by learning about their class saints. This year we are going to share more about our class saints via the Cougar Compass. We hope you will enjoy learning about them too!

St. Therese the Little Flower

1873-1897

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, also known as the "Little Flower," was a French Carmelite nun who died young at age 24 but gained a worldwide reputation for her spiritual teachings on finding holiness through simple, loving acts. Born in 1873 to a devout family, she entered the convent at 15 and developed her "Little Way" spirituality, which emphasized trust in God's love and performing small, everyday actions with great love. Her posthumously published autobiography, Story of a Soul, revealed her profound spiritual insights, leading to her canonization and recognition as a Doctor of the Church. 

Each class is assigned a male and female patron saint. St. Thérèse of Lisieux is one of the Patron Saints Fr. Pat has assigned to our 3rd Graders.
