Sometimes teaching in a Catholic School is overwhelming.
Take, for example, this morning at All School Mass. Father Joseph speaks to the children about David’s belief that the Lord would uphold him and keep him safe. Father shared how, at the close of Mass, the priest says
“The Lord be with you.” He encouraged the children to think about the power of fully believing that God will protect us as we leave the Mass. He encouraged them to take God with them as they go about their school day. Their life.
As the 5th grade students processed toward the altar to lead the Prayers of the Faithful, Father summoned them by calling “the courageous among us to lead us in prayer.”
And to end with our sweet young souls singing the Salve Regina. So beautiful!
It is just overwhelming teaching in this Catholic School.

Celebrating all of those who serve our country on this Veterans Day. God bless you and your witness to the virtue of patriotism.
Our preschool was filled with joy and gratitude last week as the wonderful parents came together to surprise both preschool teachers with beautiful wedding showers! Their thoughtfulness and love were a true reflection of Christ’s heart while celebrating the gift of marriage and the blessing of community. We are so thankful for the way these families continue to lift one another up in faith, joy, and love.
Well, that was sure fun. Deciding what I loved more; the Tunes or the Togetherness?
Easy choice: The Togetherness!

“It is hard to find words to convey the joy of the soul’s loving encounter with God, yet fine music is able to express something of the mystery of his love for us and ours for him.” Pope Benedict XVI

"Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses." Pope Paul VI Talk about witnesses.... Toward the top of the list of reasons to love these souls is that they practice the same sacrificial love towards each other that they share with their students. Each month, one staff team provides lunch for the everyone. This month it was the preschool, K-1st grade resource and teacher team. The love our staff pours into this endeavor is a reflection of who they are; an endless reservoir of goodness. God bless all teachers in whatever capacity they find themself serving. We are grateful for your witness!❤️
