Family Messenger, December 13, 2011
Lord God,
As we get ready to leave school this week,
help us to remember your greatest gift of all,
sending your Son to walk with us
and share his life with us.
May we always be mindful of his life in ours.
Amen.

God of hope,
During this Advent season
help us to make peace with one another,
to serve and encourage each other.
As we await your coming, fill our hearts with joyful hope.
Amen.
A Message from the Principal
During this season of Advent, we prepare for the coming of Jesus. We also begin preparing for our own Christmas celebrations. Children (and adults!) make their wish lists and we begin “checking our lists.” As you do your Christmas shopping, we ask that you include one of the students from St. Columbkille School in Los Angeles on your list. You will recall that over Thanksgiving, we collected food donations to help the school and parish make baskets for families in need. We are asking for your generosity once again. St. Columbkille has provided us with the names of all the students at their school, and Incarnation students will be given the name of one of the students. Gifts should be new, wrapped, and labeled with the child’s name on the gift. Please bring gifts to school no later than Wednesday, December 12th. We suggest a value of no more than $15 for each gift. Last year we were able to provide a gift for each and we are hopeful that we can do this again. Thank you for helping make Christmas special for another child!
On Thursday we celebrate the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary with an all school Mass at 11:00 a.m. We invite you to join us in this celebration.
