Dear Parents and Friends,
Advent is the beginning of the Church’s new liturgical year – Happy New Year! Lights shine brightly during this season of preparation for Christmas. I pray that your families will have opportunities to shine more brightly than those – in prayer, service, and love – lights of our Catholic faith.
I especially love the season of Advent as we reflect about our Savior’s coming and pray more deeply as a school family.
Please see the links below for additional ways your own family can also delve more deeply into this wonderful season of hope, waiting and expectation.

I’m looking forward to celebrating with your children and with you! May God bless you all with His Spirit of wonder and awe during this sacred time.
