Greetings!
A shout out to Mrs. Tette and her 2
nd
her grade students for doing an outstanding job at the All Saints Day Presentation. We had St. Michael (Fr. Brian) himself come and visit us and bless us all.
It is time for our parent/teacher conferences. Please keep in mind that we partner with you in your child’s spiritual and academic journey. It is important that we keep that communication ongoing. As always, my door is always open for questions or concerns.
This week we are celebrating National Vocation Awareness Week. Each student will be bringing home a vocations prayer card. Please encourage your children to pray for their vocation.
The November Partners in Faith newsletter is attached. Reading the newsletter with your children will be lead to discussions like:
What makes a Catholic home special?
Why do Catholics have patron saints?
The virtue for the month of November is Justice/Mercy. 6
th
graders did a great job helping us learn about it.
Blessings!
Mrs. Fernandez

In a faithful Catholic home, both the home and the family living in it show clear evidence of Catholic identity and an awareness of the presence of God. There are concrete suggestions for families to enrich the Catholic identity of their home in the main article on page one. • The Church recommends four virtues that will help us get to Heaven. Saints are people whose examples can help us acquire these important virtues. In honor of All Saints Day, details are in the main article on page two. • Why Do Catholics Do That? and benefits of choosing patron saints is explained – or becoming aware of those who choose us.
