He is not here; He has Risen!”
Matthew 28:6
Dear Sacred Heart Schools Community,
Matthew’s gospel proclaims the good news, “He is not here; he has risen!” In that instant, God’s promise of hope, joy, and love comes to fruition. As we continue through the Easter season, we celebrate God’s unconditional love for each of us and the fulfillment of His promise of salvation.
Easter also reminds us of the cross Christ carried for us and the cross each of us will carry at times in our lives too. These times when our hearts are burdened are extremely difficult, but our faith in God’s promise and prayer help carry us through. Our relationship with God and His presence in our lives are most important as we carry our crosses.
We are blessed at Sacred Heart to share the Good News of Jesus’s birth, life, and resurrection and to partner with our parents in fostering the spiritual growth of our students. We provide our students with opportunities to share and grow in their relationship with God through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, shared Mass and prayer services, theology classes, retreats, acts of service, living our core values, and being members of our Catholic community. Sacred Heart Model School recently celebrated with L2 students as they made the sacrament of First Holy Eucharist together. It was a beautiful experience.
Today, we gathered as a campus for our bi-annual Convocation. It was a beautiful celebration of Earth Day and our common commitment as Catholics to Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si. Anytime we can gather all four schools in prayer and reflection is a blessing.
In developing the whole student, mind, body, and spirit, we encourage all students of Sacred Heart Schools to become compassionate servant leaders; to make our world a better place.
Though it may sound cliché, it truly is a blessing to be a member of this community, walking together in faith, hope, love, and joy.
Together in heart,
