Dear Parents,

Even while Jesus was suffering He found time to teach and comfort others. We know that Jesus suffered and died to atone for our sins and while enduring His sufferings for us He taught the people how to live as a true Disciples of God. He taught us how to be loving, patient, kind, humble, pure of heart, and merciful. These are just a few of the many ways that we His people should be examples to others.  

Let us ask ourselves...do we take the time to comfort others even when we might be suffering? Do we try to be examples of Christ in our daily lives? Lord Jesus help us to be like you and spread your mission to all who we encounter.

Quote from Pope Francis:

"The peace that springs from faith is a gift; it is the grace of feeling that God loves us and that He is always beside us."


Faithfully yours,

Miss Giaquinto

Good in the World Update       

The children received their cards and have been spreading Good to others. We are encouraging the children to take more cards and to do as many as they would like. 
(The card gets passed along with the act).

We will display our acts of kindness on hearts that will be put on crosses in the school.

The goal is to fill up the cross with acts of kindness as a sign for our love for Jesus who gave us the greatest love when he sacrificed his life for us!
