LETTER 
FROM  PRINCIPAL
SABLESKI
Good Afternoon,

In honor of St. Mother Teresa's canonization on Sunday, I offer the following: 

"Each of us is merely a small instrument. When you look at the inner workings of electrical things, often you see small and big wires, new and old, cheap and expensive lined up. Until the current passes through them there will be no light. That wire is you and me. The current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us, produce the light of the world. Or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread."

"We do not need to carry out grand things in order to show a great love for God and for our neighbor. It is the intensity of love we put into our gestures that makes them into something beautiful for God."

- Saint Teresa of Calcutta
