Principal Update
This week we have a number of well-known Catholic feast days. At our school Mass on Wednesday, we will celebrate the feast of the Archangels. On Friday, we celebrate the Feast of St. Therese, and on Saturday the Guardian Angels. Each of these days provides us a unique insight into our faith and personal relationship with God.
- The word angel comes from the Hebrew word meaning messenger. God has important messages for each of us to hear.
- Angels are reminders that there is a spiritual reality around us constantly. God is omnipresent and wants to influence us.
- St. Therese is known for her "little way" and is an example of loving Jesus through the simple tasks and sufferings of each day.
This week, take some time to pray about the way Jesus Christ wants to influence your family and your relationships. God is always present, and we can choose to love Him and others at home, the soccer field, and at work. Take some time this week to ask your children how God is present in their life.
