LETTER 
FROM  PRINCIPAL
SABLESKI
Good Afternoon,

Not only did we honor all of our mothers yesterday, but we celebrated the Feast of the Ascension as well.  It is sometimes overlooked, but this event is critically important to our faith as it is the fulfillment of the Gospel: Jesus will die on the cross, rise from the dead, and be ascended into Heaven! 

I found the following quote from St. Augustine that I feel captures the heart of this magnificent event. 

"Today our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; let our hearts ascend with him. Listen to the words of the Apostle: If you have risen with Christ, set your hearts on the things that are above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God; seek the things that are above, not the things that are on earth. For just as he remained with us even after his ascension, so we too are already in heaven with him, even though what is promised us has not yet been fulfilled in our bodies."

It's a great day to be a Patriot!
