"Do you accept your mission to . . . YES, WE DO!
May Christ bring it to completion this good work that He has begun in you."
With these words, each grade received and accepted their mission for this school year. Fr. Greg commissioned and blessed the students as Celtics in Mission during Mass this morning.
The focus areas are displayed on a poster in each classroom and in our front office hallway:
Kindergarten and First Grade - helping the poor through the
Hands of Hope project
Second Grade - helping children through
Catholic Charities and the
Parents as Teachers project
Third Grade - serving the elderly of our parish and community
Fourth Grade - serving people who are hungry in our community
Fifth Grade - serving the poor with the
Missionaries of Charity who assist "the poorest of the poor" in Phoenix
Sixth Grade - serving children with special needs through the
Foundation for Blind Children
Seventh Grade - serving an international mission to children through
Feed My Starving Children, the
Salesian Institute in Capetown, South Africa, and
The Reveye Initiative in Madian, Haiti
Eighth Grade - serving the poor locally and internationally through the
St. Vincent De Paul dining room, the
Salesian Institute Youth Projects, and
The Reveye Initiative
Please pray for our students and teachers as they begin their service learning and mission work for this school year.
"With Jesus as our example, and His Mother as our guide, we can be Celtics in Mission for the life of the world."
