Sharing Our Faith - Luke 5:1-11
|
In the Gospel for the coming Sunday, Jesus tells the fishermen to
cast their nets into the sea and they are all amazed at the miraculous amount of fish they catch. At that moment, those simple fishermen could not have understood the impact that Jesus' life would have on the world, however, they did understand what it meant to catch a lot of fish. This miracle gave the disciples a glimpse as to the vast amount of people that would come to believe in Jesus through their words and actions in the years following Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension, when they were starting the Church.
May our Christ-like words and actions with our families, friends, and others, continue to 'catch' the attention of people who will be drawn to our faith.
(And may we all smile this Sunday when we hear the Gospel and think of the castanets.)

VIRTUS TRAINING
Parents who plan to volunteer at school during the coming school year must be Virtus trained. Virtus is the child safety training program that all adults who work and volunteer around children at church or school must complete. It focuses on appropriate interactions with children. There is no cost to you. Virtus certification must be updated every four years through a 1 1/2 hour re-certification class. You must complete Virtus 1 before doing a re-certification. The safety of our children is extremely important to all. Please be sure to attend a training if you plan on volunteering/helping out at school.
To find locations for Virtus training please click on the link below and scroll to (Archdiocese of) Los Angeles location. St. Ignatius falls under the San Fernando Region, but you may attend a Virtus class in any of the five Regions in LA County.
Please be sure to obtain a certificate and bring it to the school office so we can make a copy for our files.
All Staff, Parent Board, Room Parents, and Volunteers must be Virtus trained for the safety of our students.
