NO SCHOOL MONDAY, OCT. 14–

Happy Thanksgiving!

Friday, October 11, 2024

Dear Families,

On behalf of Father Matthew and the staff, we wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving. Just as Father said at school mass today, let us come to the greatest feast this weekend and celebrate the Eucharist together on Sunday! Let us pray:

Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for all the blessings

You have bestowed upon us.
Thank You for the gift of life, for family and friends,

and for Your constant love and mercy.
We thank You for the beauty of creation

and for the countless graces that sustain us each day.

We thank You for the gift of our faith

and for the blessing of being united in this community of St. Patrick’s.
Help us to live with thankful hearts, always mindful of Your presence

and generous in sharing Your blessings with others.
Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Yours In Christ,

Mrs. Maria Fonseca
