Catholic Schools Week 

Feb.1, 2012

 

Faith Academics and Service

Good morning students of Catholic Schools in Ellis County

It is a rare privilege in our busy world to stop and pause to give thanks to God.  That is what we are doing this day.  Let us mark this moment as we gather; all Catholic Schools in Ellis County; Holy Family, St. Mary’s of Ellis and TMP as we say thank you Lord for the gift of faith.  Thank you for my family that has made a decision that faith is valuable and they want me to be equipped with a sound strong trust in the teachings of the Catholic Church and a relationship with Jesus.   I thank you Lord for the excellent schools where great learning will prepare me for life.  Faith, Academics and Service; it’s what we are all about in Catholic Schools.

In advance we are grateful to everyone that has helped in preparing for this day. (The scheduling, busing, lunches, music, student gifts shared during our Mass, activities, etc.)  Upon the completion of this Mass Mrs. Simon will dismiss by groups so wait for those instructions. 

Prepare now to bring the offering of your life to the great prayer of our church; the Mass.

Living the Good Life

The virtuous life isn't just the good life; it's the best life, the life you were made for.

Be blessed and celebrate Catholic Schools Week 2012
