LETTER 
FROM  PRINCIPAL
SABLESKI
Good Afternoon,

"For where two or three meet in my name, I shall be there with them." (Matthew  18:20)

There are many contexts to which you could apply this passage, but for me, Jesus' message is about unity, togetherness, and oneness with God.  There are countless reasons why people come together around a common goal.  An athletic team, a neighborhood organization, or a social action group are examples of how people unite in purpose.  This is why we gather around the altar each week for the Eucharist.  It is where Christ calls us to be unified for His purpose; to love our neighbors as ourselves. 

This week will be the first all-school Mass of the year.  Celebrating Mass as a community is one of the most important things we do and all students will attend.  In addition to the all-school Masses held once a month, we celebrate the Eucharist every  Tuesday morning in the Chapel at  7:30.  These Masses are open to the entire community, and we encourage any parent that would like to attend to participate. 
 
It's a great day to be a Patriot!

Matt
