PRINCIPAL’S CORNER

Dear Parents,

After dealing with wandering bears and territorial ducks, I realized today was one for

the books!

I need to say thank you. So many times when we pray, we pray for something good to

happen and rarely do we remember to just give thanks. Therefore,

Thank you...

Thank you to the 8th grade class for all the service you have done throughout the

year. You are an awesome class!

Thank you to the 7th grade class for hosting the 8th Grade Dinner Dance. Your hard

work is very evident.

Thank you to the 3rd grade class for the reception you put on for the 2nd grade First

Communion Mass.

Thank you to our parents for the support you have given the school.

Thank you to the ducks who wander across our campus with very defined personalities

AND

Thank you to the bear (obviously a Catholic) who visited our campus and Damien's.

Life is never boring with you in charge, Lord.

REFLECTING SUNDAY’S GOSPEL MESSAGE

FAITH HEROES THROUGH FAITH FORMATION

SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY

AND BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

Reflecting on the Word

Mark 14:22-25

The Body of Christ can take many forms and we experience it in many ways. When we gather as the Church, we are the living Body. When we receive Communion, we participate in the Body, and when we live out our baptismal all, we are being the Body of Christ in the world. In each of the ways that the Body of Christ takes shape, we consider the presence of Christ. When we share Christ with others, we should be mindful of our presence in that moment of sharing.

……On the Way to Mass

Why is the Sacrament of the Eucharist so central to our faith?

On the Way Home from Mass……

For those who received Communion today what did you experience?
