Happy New Year! No, I'm not crazy. For Catholics, today is the first day of the new Liturgical Year as we enter into the season of Advent. It is the beginning of a renewed commitment to our faith by all those who follow Christ. Advent is meant to awaken us in our faith as we stand vigilant waiting for Christ's Second Advent. Today, in Fr. Tim's homily, he asked, "What are you waiting for?" What are we waiting for? Let us begin today to prepare ourselves to welcome the Word Incarnate on Christmas morning and to welcome our Lord into our hearts. Begin this journey today and share this passion with your students on Friday during their retreat as we help them to live by faith and not by fear.
This week we are collecting canned food for SVDP. Remind your students that every class that brings in 4 times the number of students in that class will receive a free dress day on Dec. 11. Invite you FLP students to participate. They may drop off their cans in the lobby. Remind them to label the bag with their grade.
The third and fourth grades will have reconciliation this week. Because Mass is later now, I had to spread out reconciliation. Therefore, Fr. Tim will not be visiting all classes this Tuesday as planned. He will visit second grade after 3rd-grade reconciliation on Tuesday between 10:30-11.
3A will be hosting Mass this week and 2nd and 6th grades will stay at school and watch on the live stream. Everyone else can sit in their usual places (7th grade can just move forward on your side).
Have a wonderful week!
