Dear Christ the King School Families,
One of the greatest aspects of this past weekend was witnessing all the wonderful community members at our annual Father and Daughter Dance. Dads are incredibly influential in the lives of our students as their faith, heart, and courage are cornerstone to their families and children. Moms are equally influential, and at times more impactful with their gentleness, compassion, planning, and care leading the way as everyone arrived on time, elegantly dressed, and with great intentions of the heart. :-)
Saint Joseph led with a gentle heart, strong faith, and quiet influence. Equally, our Holy Mother led with compassion, inner strength, and tremendous grace. The Holy Family is such a great example to us all, and together their loving example envelope the greatest virtues of our faith. The aforementioned tenets embodied the prayer and blessing at the Father/Daughter Dance.
It was awesome to see such happy faces at this special event. With immense gratitude we thank this special evening’s chair, Kirsten Sawyer, the PTG Father/Daughter Planning Committee, and countless volunteers for creating an evening filled with elegance, ambiance, and great spirit. Kirsten leads many of our events with an open heart and conscientious work ethic. How blessed we are to be members of such a special community!
Abundant blessings,
Joe Silveira
Principal
