Principal's Post

May 9, 2008
 

Dear Parents and Guardians,
I cannot find the words to thank all of you for the beautiful celebration last Sunday. Truly, there are no words to express my feelings about your children and each of you!
-The presence of the Holy Spirit was felt throughout one of the most memorable liturgies I have ever attended.
-The Our Lady of Lourdes grotto dedicated to me …
    …please continue our very special devotion to Our Lady.
    … I ask that, when you walk past the grotto, please say a Hail Mary for me.
-Our Home and School Team
    … the hardest workers I know.
    … the most gracious and kind hearted people ever.

You are all in my mass intentions this weekend.

Women are the church’s strong back.  As they were the last at the foot of the cross, they have become the first at the altar.

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
Proverbs 31:30

In Christ’s Service,


Mrs. Barbara A. Herter
Principal
