Building
Confident Catholic Leaders Through Faith, Community
and Education
Dec. 11, 2012
Reconciliation
One of our requirements as
Catholics is to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least once a year.
Our students are fortunate to have the parish priests available to offer the
Sacrament of Reconciliation twice a year during school hours. This Advent
season is the first opportunity this school year for students in 3rd
to 8th grades to go to confession. Confessions will be this Friday
Dec. 14, at 9:00 a.m.
Advent
During the second week of Advent
at school we light the second purple candle on the Advent wreath. We will pray
all week for those who need it the most.
This is how we will wait and prepare for the coming of Jesus.
Perhaps as a family you might
ask Our Lady of Guadalupe to bless our country.
See’s Candy
All order forms for See’s
Candy are due this coming Thursday, Dec. 13. Orders will be delivered on
Monday, Dec. 17. Candy orders will arrive in time for the Christmas holidays!

Santa, Mrs. Duke, and the elves
are preparing to open the Christmas workshop on Monday, Dec. 17. Santa’s Workshop
will be held in the school library for all to do Christmas shopping.
Preschoolers and kindergarten
parents: please put your child’s money in an envelope and give it to their
classroom teacher. The teacher will keep the envelope until it is time to visit
Santa’s Workshop.
