Dear School Families,
We started off this week with our 7th graders celebrating Caritas Thanksgiving with their families. Their second grade buddies joined in to be of service. It was a beautiful representation of tradition, family, and being together. Tomorrow, our students will be sharing Thanksgiving traditions in the classroom. Whenever we gather around to share food and drink, we talk to each other, we share our joys, and we celebrate the moment. We do this same thing when we participate in the Eucharist. We gather around the Bread of Life, we pray, we sing, and we celebrate the moment.
I pray that as you gather around the table this Thanksgiving, you celebrate God's goodness and love with your families and have a blessed holiday.
We invite you to join us for 8:00 a.m. mass tomorrow. Come celebrate the Eucharist with us.
In Partnership,
Mrs. Fely Fajardo
Interim Principal
