Living, Celebrating, and Proclaiming Our Faith

Dear Families,

One more week until break! Prayers that we all stay healthy and joyful this week as we continue our Advent journey!

Lord God, may we, your people, who look forward to the birthday of Christ experience the joy of salvation and celebrate that feast with love and thanksgiving. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Have a blessed weekend,

Mrs. Maria Fonseca
