Dear Christ the King Catholic School Families,
So great to be back from Easter break as a member of this very special community! I pray that your Easter was filled with peace, joy, and hope. Today, I would like to thank Carol Alonso, our students, and community for their participation in the Lenten project that supported Doctor Catena’s Nuba Crisis Cause. Please review this
video link
for context if you have not done so.
Student faith family leaders planned a day dedicated to Doctor Catena’s lifesaving work. Students dressed in colors of the Sudanese flag and brought donations in support of Dr. Catena’s amazing ministry. In addition, personal written notes from each student with positive comments and artistic design were sent directly to Dr. Catena during Easter.
The cool part is that Ken Carlson (producer/dear friend of Dr. Catena) received our school’s packet and responded to me over the Easter break where we held an hour-long conversation. I was truly inspired by this opportunity to listen and learn more about Ken’s long-standing friendship with Dr. Catena. I truly believe that Dr. Catena is a living saint. He is certainly a Nobel Peace Prize candidate, yet his humility, grace, and commitment to God’s will impress me most.
Further, Ken mentioned that Dr. Catena visits the US once a year. Ken offered that he and Dr. Catena would be so honored to meet, speak, and commune with our parish and school community in September of 2019! 😊
Lastly, to Mrs. Dewes, Mrs. Taylor, our second-grade communicants and their families. I look forward to witnessing your blessed sacraments of the Holy Eucharist this weekend and next weekend, too. Such a special time in their lives and such a special time of the year as we approach our Holy Mother’s month of May.
Abundant blessings,
Mr. Silveira
Principal
Christ the King Catholic School

Please join us in praying for Albert Bucci, the father-in-law of Mrs. Bucci, who went to heaven last week, for all our families and friends, for our special intentions, for the needs and cares of others and for all those who are suffering from illness, loss, loneliness or other challenges.
May God keep us all in His tender and loving care.
