A LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL
|
|
Dear Families,
Advent is the time to prepare for the coming of the Lord. It is a Season filled with hope and joy, filled with expectation and preparation. As Catholics, we are called to “clean house” and make room for the Lord in our lives. However, to truly appreciate the gift of faith, we need to unwrap it.
I am blessed to be in a community that reminds me of my faith daily. There are many opportunities daily to dig deeper into that faith. At mass on Sunday, Fr. Rafa took a special moment to begin with the lighting of the Advent Wreath and remind us all to prepare for Jesus's coming. Each morning, our students assemble and add an ornament to the Jesse Tree. And last night, Pre-K celebrated the coming of Jesus by performing Las Posadas, followed by carols and fellowship in the Parish Hall.
All these traditions, as well your own, remind us of the coming of Jesus and bring us closer to His story and our faith. I hope that you will reflect on your faith during each of these traditions and join me in opening your heart for the coming of the Lord this Christmas Season. Ignite your faith!
Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Drabek
