A Note from Mrs. Ryan

Dear Parents, Thank you for the generous outpouring of gifts for the family we have adopted for Christmas. On Friday morning we will set up all the gifts in the Media Center so the students can see them before they are delivered that afternoon. I am anticipating a joyous Christmas morning when I can think about the extension of Christ’s love that we have brought to this family who has suffered so much. I hope that many of you will choose to attend the 4:00 PM Family Christmas Eve Mass at St. Rose Church. Attending Mass with your children and helping them to stay focused on the real reason for the season is the best way you can counteract the rampant materialism that comes at us from all angles during this time of year. Once all the gifts are opened, you can take your own stand by helping your children see that the best things in life are those that money just can’t buy. In closing, I wish you and your entire family a blessed and joyous Christmas. May all of God’s most bountiful blessings be yours in 2020. I am so grateful to be associated with the wonderful faith community of St. Rose School and I thank you for allowing us to be partners with you in your children’s education. Kathy Ryan Principal
