FEAST OF THANKSGIVING - CELEBRATE GOD'S MANY GIFTS
Principal
Sr. Kathleen Touey, IHM
Message from the Principal

Dear Prents/Guardians:
The beauty of life is... that God takes us just as we are and speaks to our hearts.
During the month of November, we call to mind the many special occurrences that we celebrate in our Church year.
On November 1, All Saints Day, we remember the saints, known and unknown. We ask them to intercede for each one of us that we may realize more fully each day that we are loved by God and that He cares for all of us. Let us remember to call upon them for our needs and desires.
On November 2, All Souls Day, we pray for all those who have gone before us and thank God for their loving presence in our lives. May they rest in God's peace!
On November 26, we celebrate the Feast of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving helps us to focus upon God's many gifts: creation, salvation, our faith, and our families. On this day, we thank God for all of His blessings in our lives.
I thank God for all of you and for entrusting your children to us each day. We want so much for your children to grow in the love of God and appreciate deeply the Catholic Faith. Our faith is truly a gift, and it is important that we appreciate the gift given to us by Jesus Christ. Let us remember this month to recall daily that God is with us and wants so much to be an integral part of our family. Let us take time each day to think about His workings in our lives. God Bless you and your families. Gratefully, Sr. Kathleen Touey
