Dear Parents,

The Gospel value of the Month of November is "Service." During this month we recognize that as Disciples of Christ we are called to serve others. Service is defined as the action of helping or doing work for someone. We are called to serve faithfully through simplicity, humility, and in virtue in our daily work and interactions with others.  In the Gospel of Mathew, Jesus said " Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." So as we serve our brothers and sisters, let us remember that we are also serving our Lord. 


Quote from Pope Francis:

"Jesus taught us: those who command must become like those who serve. Or, those who wish to be first must become servants...."


Faithfully Yours,

Miss Giaquinto
