Lord Jesus Christ,

      May Your face shine upon us, and may You guide our feet into the way of peace. We pray that you will bless us and our families during the wonderful months of summer. May all of us help to make our homes places of relaxation, joy, love, peace and safety. May we be generous and considerate, not thinking

only about ourselves but helping others enjoy the blessings of the summertime.

Our school has shared many things this year. We were linked by common tasks and time together. Keep each of us in your care during the summer and throughout our lives. Guide our steps and strengthen our hearts until we gather once again in Your kingdom. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen

A Personal Word of Thanks...

         Thank you for your support and modeling to your child the beauty of our faith and stressing with them the importance of them doing their best academically. Your faithfulness to Our Lord is the most important gift that you can give to your child. You are responsible to be the first teacher of their Faith. Be faithful and Be proud to be Catholic!  Kids get too many mixed messages.  It is important that you are modeling to them the best possible faith practice. Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable vacation. Please know that I will be praying for each and every one of you and look forward to seeing you at Church throughout the summer. We will be readying our school for the next school year, feel free to call and volunteer. The more help the better. As you know, many hands make light work.

God Bless you and your family through the days ahead and please keep me in prayer throughout the summer.

                                                                                      God Bless You and Your Family

 

 

Thank you to all of our supporters! Keep them coming!

Please continue to save the all the above through the summer as they add up rather quickly!
