Dear Holy Rosary School Families,
Peace Builder Week was a wonderful opportunity to take time to learn more about what it means to be a Peace Builder and how each of us can create peace for each other. Being peace builders is what we are called to do. Teachers and students alike have been working on becoming better peace builders. Father Roberto led the teachers in a reflection on different ways to pray to deepen our relationship with God. Prayer is an important part of our Catholic identity, and we were happy to spend time learning how to prepare ourselves for quiet and meaningful prayer. Our students also took time to deepen their relationship with God by participating in retreats that celebrated their Catholic identity and reminded them to be Christlike in their actions and in their words. Christ was a perfect peace builder, and only by following Him can we become better peace builders ourselves.
Tomorrow, September 15th, we will be celebrating mass at 8:00 a.m. I invite you to join us as part of our school community. My prayer for our children and our community is that we work together to be more like Christ everyday. As St. Therese of Liseux reminds us, "Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon Heaven, the only goal of our labors."
In Partnership
Mrs. Fely Fajardo
Interim Principal

U.S. Bishop's Statement Denouncing DACA Decision by President Trump
The following statement denouncing the Administration's termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after six months is from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) President Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, along with USCCB Vice President, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, Bishop Joe S. Vásquez of Austin, chairman, Committee on Migration, and Bishop Joseph J. Tyson of Yakima, chairman of the Subcommittee on Pastoral Care of Migrants, Refugees, and Travelers.
Over 780,000 youth received protection from the DACA program since its inception by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2012. DACA provided no legal status or government benefits but did provide recipients with temporary employment authorization to work in the United States and reprieve from deportation. The full statement follows:
