1.  As we prepare to welcome staff and students back, we are hopeful that all went well
         with family and friends this Thanksgiving!  Also, as we enter the season Advent,  it is
          important to keep the significance of Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of Christ,              as an opportunity to continue our prayers for peace and good will to all. Continuing 
          weekly family Mass attendance is a step in the right direction as we look forward to
          getting the New Year off on the right foot!

       Quote:  " All of the places of our lives are sanctuaries; some of them just happen to
                       have steeples.  And all of the people in our lives are saints; it is just that some
                       of them have day jobs and most will never have feast days named for them."
