Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Back to school on Monday. The count down to Christmas begins. Remind your child that Christmas is not always about receiving gifts but about the wonderful event of Jesus' birth. Help your child understand that everyday can be a "Christmas" if we invite Jesus to be born into our hearts. At morning prayer each class will present a part of the Jesse Tree. The Jesse Tree activity helps us to remember during Advent that each person's way of living adds something special to Jesus' coming.
Please remember that Tuesday, December 1 is the celebration of First Penance. Please be at St. Patrick's Church by 6:40 p.m. A letter was sent home on Thursday, November 19, 2009 with all the information regarding First Penance.
Have a wonderful week.
