ADVENT TREES
Help us decorate our trees and help those in need.
|
|
Hey Wildcats! Advent is here and it is time to prepare our minds and hearts for the coming of Jesus!
One great way to prepare our hearts is to think of others and do something kind. What better way to show kindness than to donate items to the Gabrielle Project at Catholic Charities. (This program helps mothers in need.)
Trees are located in the front foyer of the school across from the main office. Come in and watch the joy on your child's face when they place their donations on the tree.
We will collect items until next Monday, December 10th.

PARENT/TEACHER PRAYER PARTNERS
Have you ever visited the school lunchroom or looked around at dismissal and thought, "I don't know how these teachers and staff do it!" They are a true Godsend and praying for them is one of the simplest ways to fortify them in their work.
Sign up to be a parent-teacher/staff prayer partner and they will also be praying for you! Many more prayer enthusiasts are needed for this special ministry and parents (moms and dads), grandparents and friends are strongly encouraged to volunteer.
Who doesn't need a few extra prayers? Plus it only takes a minute of your day. We will partner you with a member of the school team, provide a prayer card as a visual reminder and send occasional tips for new ways to pray and deepen your faith.

The Spiritual Life Committee at Saint Andrew Catholic School offers two blessed statues to its families: A statue of Rosa Mystica and an Immaculate Heart of Mary Statue.
Each week (from Wednesday afternoon to the following Wednesday morning) two families will have the opportunity to take these statues home and use them as a source of inspiration, prayer and reflection. The tote bag containing the statue will also have suggested prayers. This special tradition will hopefully be one full of meaning and faith for each of you.
