EIGHTH GRADE NEWS
This is the third week of Advent. Peace,hope, and Joy to everyone!!!
"Look, I am standing at the door, knocking. If one of you hears me
calling, and opens the door, I will come in and share a meal at that person's
side." (Revelation 3:20)
During the season of Advent, my students and I will ponder all the doors we
travel through each day. As we journey, we will be mindful of the door of our
heart;of what needs to be opened or closed, received or given. We will let
each door we see, and pass through, also remind us of the doorway to our God
who dwells within our inner sanctuary.
High School News:
Visitation to the Catholic High Schools is complete. If a student wishes to
