Morning Mass Reflection:
What's the toughest thing you've ever had to do? We all share one that tops them all: through our Baptism, being a Christian and following the faith.
We heard in our readings today how difficult it is to enter through the narrow gate into the Kingdom of God. What makes it accessible? Work hard to develop the relationship and fall in love with Jesus, to be kind, to live the BeAttitudes; and through prayer, service, and sacrifice, we get to know Jesus as he knows us. He is there to lean on. "Be my strength this day, oh Lord!" What is your mantra?

 At Holy Hill,
Mrs. Anderson's 7th graders visited the shrine chapel and spent a little time in prayer. In the back of the upper church, the class had the opportunity to walk through a door designated as a "Door of Mercy". For those unfamiliar with Pope Francis' Year of Mercy and the spiritual meaning behind the Holy Doors of Mercy,
click here. Oh, and they also climbed the 178 stairs to the top of the tower!
Miss Zahn's Gr. 5
finished their entire class read aloud, "Out of My Mind", by Sharon M. Draper. Students had such enthusiasm and motivation that they begged to come in from recess to work on an end-of-book project, Medi-talkers. Using their Medi-talkers, Gr. 5 partnered up and acted out different scenarios of what it would be like if one could only use a communication board to express thoughts.
