And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5:5 |
|
St. Catharine Families:
We will have 22 days of school left after today. It seems surreal that we are nearing the end of this academic school year. We should never forget how much we have been through as a community and a society since last March. Knowing how we have faced adversity during this pandemic should give us all self-efficacy to succeed. We have the opportunity to reveal our virtues and show the love of Christ to everyone we meet.
Tuition Letter
Last week the 2021-2022 Tuition Letters were sent out via email. Here is a copy of that letter.
We are currently starting the next phase of this process in terms of tuition assistance and transitioning to the next school year.
Service Learning Never Stops
Our students have been participating in several service project including assisting with Family Faith Formation, the Bottoms-Up Diaper Drive, and feeding the homeless. Service learning allows our students to develop empathy and compassion while continuing their journey as servant leaders.
May is the Month of Mary
We ask for the intersession of our Blessed Mother during the month of May. We have scheduled our May Crowning on the Feast Day or Our Lady of Fatima including an all school rosary and Eucharistic Adoration and Confessions for our 8th Grade Confirmandi.
Finally, continue to put your faith in Jesus and know that you are loved. Be optimistic of the future and grateful for the lessons taught to us through this pandemic. Pray for God's Will.
In Christ,
Mark Watts
