Dear Morning Star Families and Friends,
This year we celebrate the Year of St. Joseph. Every day at 12:35pm our school stops and prays the Prayer to St. Joseph together. This week we pray to him for the strength to live out the call to Justice. Please join us in prayer...
Joseph the Just Man
"Dear Joseph, model of a loving father and a just man, teach me to live out the call to justice in my daily life. I feel overwhelmed at times by the needs of our dear neighbors. Let me take courage for the struggle from the compassionate response I see in your care.
For Jesus and Mary.
Amen.”
By Sister Kathleen Power, SSJ
This week we would also like to share a wonderful story. One of our former students, Ty Oliver, chose Morning Star School as his Eagle Scout service project. Ty chose to build three benches for our Peace Garden
“This is a wonderful garden that is peaceful and comforting" said Ty "however, there is nowhere to sit and rest while taking in the beauty of the garden. Therefore, I am going to build three benches for Morning Star students to enjoy the beauty of the garden more fully.” Ty began his project with a proposal in August and with my approval he began to build the benches. Last week Ty delivered his benches and presented them to the school. The benches are a beautiful addition to the Peace Garden. I could not be more pleased (and proud) of what Ty has created and achieved as a former Morning Star student.
Please have a blessed week,
