Dear Parents,
April 29th was the feast day of our school's patroness, St. Catherine of Siena. Catherine was born on March 25th, the feast of the Annunciation, in 1347. From am early age, she demonstrated extraordinary virtue in devoting herself to the love of God.
She eventually became a Dominican Tertiary. She lived a life of prayer and service to the poor. Catherine was a writer, mystic, stigmatist, and doctor of the Church, she is an example for us all in what it means to fulfill our vocation as Christians.
Our students participated in a special prayer service to honor St. Catherine and asked her to watch over us all as we grow in our faith and understanding for the love of God. They did a wonderful job.
Quote from Pope Francis:
"May our attitude be gentle and humble, attentive in caring for the poor."
Faithfully yours,
Miss Giaquinto

Exciting News From The Bishop
On Divine Mercy
Sunday, Bishop Caggiano announced an exciting new movement -
The Face of Prayer - an online crusade that brings together social media, text alerts, and the power of prayer.
Are you willing to pray with the Bishop Caggiano every day? Text a selfie, your prayer intention, or the word
"pray" to 55778 and join in the journey as we learn more about the
power of prayer. Participants will receive a daily prayer intention from the bishop that ends with a call to prayer.
The goal of the campaign is to have thousands of people -
especially our young church - praying each day alongside the bishop as we grow together in holiness.
Be the face of prayer and join today.
