Mother Daughter Mass
The Incarnate Word Academy community was blessed to celebrate the annual Mother Daughter Mass honoring the Feast of the Immaculate Conception this week. Fr. Thomas Rafferty of St. Anthony of Padua Parish in The Woodlands delivered a beautiful homily calling on the congregation to give thanks for our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, daughters, and important women in our life, and to reflect on our greatest role model in faith, the Virgin Mary. Mothers and daughters gathered together for a coffee and donut reception before heading off to class. It was a wonderful morning and we are so appreciative to the Mothers Club and the Campus Ministry Team for organizing a special day. See more pictures here!

Faculty & Staff Christmas Luncheon|
Every year, the Mother's Club hosts the Faculty & Staff Christmas Party and this year's luncheon will be on Thursday, December 15th at 12:30 p.m. This event is usually held in the auditorium and is a chance to let the teachers and staff know how much they are appreciated. In the past, volunteers from the Mother's Club have helped to make the event even more special by decorating one table with their china, crystal, flatware and decorations. Each table has its own "personality" and the auditorium is transformed into an elegant setting for the luncheon. We are setting up 8 round tables this year and are asking for volunteers to host the tables for the luncheon.
Please contact Leticia Graves at
lgraves141@comcast.net
if you are interested in helping with this worthwhile endeavor.
