Staying up to date with JPII
Message from Mary Adams, Principal of JPII

My how time flies! It has been a life-changing year. So much has happened in the last 12 months and we are living in a different world. Easter brings about new life and we have a whole new world with new opportunities, new discoveries, and new challenges. God gave us his son so we could start anew. God is ever forgiving, and every day calls us to grow closer to him. His calling comes in many different forms.

The choices we make and encounters we have can all lead us to God. Do we make our daily decisions with him in mind? Do we see Christ in everyone we encounter? I often ask the Holy Spirit to guide me, and I know I need to do this more often. I am grateful every day is a clean slate and God welcomes me with open arms. I pray that as you start everyday new you feel God’s presence and love and only grow closer to him.

May everyone have a blessed and holy Easter!
