Dear Families,
I have been looking forward to today for a while now. Mr. Cayanan and I spoke last month about providing our students and families this day to focus on our Blessed Mother. And here we are! Like many of you, I have a special devotion to Mary. I had the blessing of attending a Marianist high school and then a university named after Our Lady where every day I would see Mary watching over me from a golden dome. When becoming a mother, my devotion to Mary increased as I have looked to her as the perfect model of motherhood. One of my favorite Mary prayers was actually shared with me by one of my students when I taught high school Theology. He shared with me that he and his mother prayed this prayer every night since he was a young boy. Even at the age of 18, he told me he looked forward to sharing this prayer with his children someday. Now he is married and able to pass this on. I want to share it with you today.
I hope you enjoy our Mary BINGO Game, our Virtual Rosary and the great resources e-mailed to you yesterday. Hope to βseeβ you online! π
Mary, Queen of All Saints, Pray for Us.
Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary, Pray for Us.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for Us.
Only by His Grace,
Veronica Tucker
Principal
