Family Messenger, October 30 2012

God our Father,

We pray for all who have died,

especially our loved ones and people in our community.

May they move closer to you every day and come to live

in your presence forever.

Amen.

A Message from the Principal

Thursday is the Solemnity of All Saints, or All Saints Day, and we celebrate the lives of all the saints who now live in Christ. The third grade class has been researching the lives of saints and will conclude the project with a special presentation for Mass. The students will be dressed as saints, and present facts about the lives of the saints to the congregation. We thank Mrs. Lomasto and the third grade class for their preparation and sharing at mass.

Sincerely,

Diana Girskis
