From The Desk Of The Principal

Greetings!

This may well be the shortest article I have ever had in The Messenger!

I want to thank you for working with us together as partners in educating your child. Our conferences today certainly were productive and we look forward to continuing our work when we return after Thanksgiving.

Enjoy a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday!

Peace and God's blessings,

Ms. Ann E. Dougal

Prayer Corner

St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us!

We pray for our brothers and sisters across our nation and across the world. May God give everyone strength during these especially stressful times.

We pray in a special way for all of our families and friends in need:

We pray for our recently departed.

We pray for all those lives that have been taken by the Covid-19 virus across the world.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
