Did you know?
Our 4th graders have been trained as Altar Servers and shadow the older students each week at our all-school Masses. Two 4th graders serve alongside the 5th-8th graders to "learn the ropes". This year, with 11 students in 4th grade, each child will have served 5-6 times by the time the school year ends. This allows our 4th graders many opportunities to feel comfortable with serving on their own when they begin 5th grade. Please pray for them as they train for and practice this special liturgical ministry.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, please continue to let us feel your comforting love in our lives and Lord we give ourselves over to you to perfect in us this gift of love, that we may be able to express it and share it with others. We are not always good at this, forgive us. Some people are harder to love than others, but we want our hearts to be like yours. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
Prayers: Please keep Mrs. Straehler (4K) in your prayers. She had foot surgery today and will be on the mend for the next couple of weeks.
