Sharing Our Faith - Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross
|
The one symbol most often identified with Jesus and his Church is the cross.
This Friday the Church celebrates the Feast of The Exaltation of the Holy Cross. This feast traces its beginning to Jerusalem and the dedication of the church built on the site of Mount Calvary in 335. But the meaning of the cross is deeper than any city, any celebration, any building. The cross is a sign of suffering, a sign of human cruelty at its worst. But by Christ’s love shown in the Paschal Mystery, it has become the sign of triumph and victory, the sign of God, who is love itself. (Loyola Press)
"We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you, because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world."
May our Christ our Savior, crucified on the Cross and risen from the dead, bless you and keep you always.
~Ileana Wade
All family and friends are invited to join us each Wednesday for Mass at 8:15. What a beautiful way to start the day-together in prayer!

TEACHER MEETING- NO SCHOOL THIS FRIDAY
|
This Friday, our teachers will gather with teachers from all other Southern California MSJ Dominican Schools at St. Catherine's Military Academy in Anaheim. We gather each year to be inspired by the Dominican Sisters who established our schools and who continue to guide us today through prayer, support, and financial assistance for tuition grants. The picture above features the sisters who were previously principals at St. Ignatius. Although Sr. Regina Marie and Sr. Mara Ann are now in heaven, we can be assured that all the sisters who have served here continue to pray for our special school community.
