January 12th Newsletter

Dear Parents,

The Gospel value for the month of January is Peace. Peace, in the Christian sense of the word. It is the recognition that the soul need not be troubled or worried because, in the end, there is serenity with our Lord. The one thing that remains constant, unchanging
, and eternal is the relationship of life and love that each person shares with the Blessed Trinity. May we find our inner peace with God and spread that peace outward to each other and to all who we meet in our da ily lives.

Quote from Pope Francis:

" The Holy Spirit transforms and renews us, creates harmony and unity, and gives us courage and joy for mission."

Faithfully yours,

Miss Giaquinto
