A Message from the President | |
|
Each November the Church remembers, she remembers the lives of saints who have enriched our faith from generation to generation and the lives of all the souls who have gone before us. Through this act of remembering, we take stock in the community we have become through the work of those who have come before us.
As November concludes in the coming weeks, we celebrate the national holiday of Thanksgiving and we also celebrate the feast of Christ the King as we prepare for Advent. November gathers us, then, in remembrance, in thanksgiving, and in hope. We reflect together on these three pillars of our community that look forward to the futures of so many students and families.
As we enter November think about who needs this community's prayers and remembrances and please let us know by submitting a prayer request by clicking here.

Be Well NDA -November
Healthy Relationships
This month's Be Well Topic is healthy relationships. Healthy relationships are an important part of life. Each of us wants to feel loved and to love others. Relationships can be romantic, familial, or friendly to name a few. Healthy relationships are a two-way street that are respectful, honest, and equal. Unhealthy relationships are toxic, controlling, and disrespectful. Everyone deserves to be in safe and healthy relationships.
See the links below for additional reading on the topic.
