Virtues in Practice... in action with SJPS students!
These four students wanted to help out around school, specifically the playground area. When asked about it, Zachary R. asked, " Are we being good stewards ?" They had been learning all about stewardship in their Virtues in Practice classes with Mr. Paloucek.
Way to go SJPS Lions!

 
First Week of Advent

"Come, let us climb the Lord's mountain,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may instruct us in his ways
and we may walk in his paths."  Isaiah 2: 2-3

At SJPS, we light the first candle
 on the Advent wreath and begin this year's brief Advent journey to Christmas.
 As we share these sacred weeks with students, co-workers, families, and friends, let us find a space of time each day to pause to pray, and to believe that Light  will  penetrate
 whatever darkness handicaps our hearts.
 
How is the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena going for you and your families? I think the best part about this particular novena is that during the day, it just 'pops' into your head that you need to take time out for Jesus! Happy Advent!

God's peace and blessings,
Mary Johnson
Fr. Tom Brundage
