SEPTEMBER 30, 2021
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Growing Seeds of Community

Our theme is evident all around our campus and we are truly doing God’s work as we plant seeds of community.  Our students spent the last two weeks contributing to the St. Jude “Sock it to Childhood Cancer” stewardship project and have been earning gold slips for displaying exemplary behavior that Jesus taught and lived to others. The faculty planted marigold seeds at this month’s faulty meeting as a daily reminder of our theme. The marigold is used in our May crowning to symbolize the humility of Mary. Humility is the virtue we are focusing on this quarter as we plant seeds of community. Mary is the purest example of humility because of her humble response to the angel Gabriel, “May it be done to me according to your word.” I am sure this was not an easy response for Mary but she trusted that God had a plan and surrendered to his will. When we are called to a task, are we as willing and humble as Mary to surrender to the call even when it is not our plan or what we want to do? Do we recognize the humility in others when they do follow God’s call? If we do then we too are living out the virtue of humility.
