Dear parent and Guardians,
As the Church begins a new liturgical year with the season of Advent, our
schools resonate with the sense of hopeful anticipation for the coming of Christ. It is a blessing for students and staff to learn and work in an environment where they can fully prepare for the profound and powerful reality of Christmas and aspire to all of the virtues that the season inspires.
Advent is a time of year when our schools joyfully participate in celebrations that lift the hearts of our students on the blessed journey to Christ’s birth. This happens through musical concerts and Nativity plays, community service projects and most importantly through a deepened time of prayer. Each of these orient our students towards a rich spiritual experience that gives deeper meaning to this wonderful season.
My sincere thanks to you for choosing the great tradition of Catholic education for your children. Catholic education is a transformational gift, one that encourages students to strive for excellence and virtue, while at the same time discerning Christ’s call in their lives.
May this blessed Advent season fill your hearts with hope, peace, joy and love as we prepare for Him who is our salvation. I want to wish you and your families, a very Merry Christmas!
Sincerely,
Theresa McNicol
Trustee
