A Word From Our Principal
Dear St. Francis Borgia Families,
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Emmanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)
As Christmas approaches, there are so many things going on in our lives – Christmas shopping, meals to prepare, presents to wrap, cards to write, and a whole host of activities that keep us very busy. I hope that your family remains safe during this time when some may be with extended family. Against this hectic backdrop, we take time in our Catholic school to remind ourselves of the real meaning of Christmas. We reflect on the great gift God has given us with the birth of Jesus.
Our school staff prepared for the coming of Christ through Advent celebrations. They also joined together for Mass, Adoration, Reconciliation, special prayers, and our virtual Christmas concert. These faith celebrations set our Catholic school apart and demonstrate how Catholic education shapes and inspires our students’ learning. What gives us the greatest joy is seeing our students capture the essence of the school mission: Enter to Learn; Go Forth to Serve Christ. Their hearts and minds are enriched by reaching out to others. Their busy hands collected toys, food, and other items for those in need.
I congratulate all of our students who are growing in compassion and love by bringing the light of Christ to others. I thank our teachers and support staff for providing educational and spiritual guidance to these young Disciples of Christ. I am grateful to all parents for encouraging their children to live our faith.
May God make His presence very real to you and your families as you celebrate the birth of our Savior this season. I hope you and all of your loved ones have a very blessed Christmas and that 2021 will be filled with health, grace, love and peace.
Have a Blessed Christmas!
Many Blessings,
Mrs. Amy Royes
