Weekly Bulletin - June 8, 2023

Dear Families,


SLE of the Month of May – Class Updates


In Kindergarten, for SLE 3.2, A St. Louise student is a well-balanced individual who develops mind, body, and spirit by experiencing the arts and participating in physical activity, both classes participated in the annual Walk-A-Thon for 45 minutes. They were up to the challenge in warm weather and walked many laps to achieve their goals. Great job Kindergartners!


Fifth grade developed their mind, body, and spirit by experiencing the arts through their Mother's Day projects. Students brought in pictures of their mothers and made keen observational skills to create a portrait of their mother. Students created a magazine cover that featured their mother as the "Mother of the Year". Each student wrote a persuasive essay on why their mother deserves to be on the cover of the magazine. Students worked hard to depict the personality and mood of their mothers through their portraits. 


Final School Days Will include Liturgy, Yearbooks, and a Picnic!

 

The end of the school year is almost here, with Friday, June 16, being our final day! On this last day, we annually hold an end-of-year liturgy, followed by an all-school picnic. 


For the end-of-year liturgy next Friday morning, we will come together in church and announce surprise recipients of student awards and recognize our volunteer extraordinaire. We will also say goodbye to departing students and families as well as teachers and staff. All parents are welcome to join us during our morning liturgy. 


Please see the flyer below with some other important “End of the School Year Reminders”.

Volunteer

Supporting the New Bethlehem Programs in Kirkland is one of our two school wide service projects each year. NBP has reached out and asked St. Louise to have a parent sit on their Community Engagement Team. This person would attend a monthly meeting with other schools, parishes and community group representatives to learn about the shelter, the successes and challenges and how we as a school can help. This person will assist our classes with the annual Advent donation drive and Ash Wednesday collection. This opportunity is an awesome way to deepen our partnership with NBP and those who are the most vulnerable in our community. 


If you are interested or have questions, please contact Mr. Fuerte or Rebecca Nightingale (rebeccani@ccsww.org). Thank you for your consideration!

A Message from Fr. Gary

Dear Friends at St. Louise, 


Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord. Christ is present under the physical signs and symbols of all the sacraments in both a spiritual and a physical way. It is Christ himself who baptizes, who anoints the sick, who forgives sins, who ordains, etc. In the Eucharist, the “Blessed Sacrament,” Christ is present in his Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. There is no greater gift we have from Jesus than the Mass, the gift he gave us on the night before he died -- and he has commanded us to eat his Body and drink his Blood in memory of him. He says, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” (John 6:53)


This particular year, this day is important for the Church in the United States because it begins our observance of the National Eucharistic Revival. The need for this revival was highlighted by the drastic dip in the percentage of Catholics who reported they believe that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of the Lord. (See Pew Research Center survey, “What Americans Know About Religion,” conducted Feb. 4 19, 2019. You can read more about the survey at https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2019/07/23/what-americans-know-about-religion/ and https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/08/05/transubstantiation-eucharist-u-s-catholics/.)

“It is a lesson we all need – to let alone the things that do not concern us. He has other ways for others to follow Him; all do not go by the same path. It is for each of us to learn the path by which He requires us to follow Him, and to follow Him in that path,”


– St. Katherine Drexel
