Saints Speak from Mrs. Marshall - 5/16/2024 - The Church Must Be a Place of Mercy
Please take a few moments to reflect on these words from Pope Francis:
“The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven, and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel.”
Pope Francis speaks often of mercy. We are all blessed with the mercy of God, and so grateful for this mercy, but we aren’t always as quick to show that mercy to others. Let us pray today that as members of the Church we can show mercy to those around us, just as God shows this same mercy to us.
Thank you!
The 3rd Annual ASCA Golf Classic was a huge success! Thank you to all who helped make this event happen, especially committee members John Andrade, John Corradetti, Wayne Klein, Tom Krug, Lauren Krug, Katy Maurer, Jeff Simpson, and all who supported them in planning this great event! Thank you as well to the many business sponsors for their contributions. We will share a financial update as soon as those details are finalized!
End of Year Reminders & Events
As we approach the end of the year, I know students (and teachers!) are anxious for summer vacation. During these last two weeks, please remind your children that we are continuing to learn, try our best, and most importantly, treat everyone with respect. Following the rules and expectations helps ensure we can all finish the year in a positive way!
Tomorrow is our 2nd grade First Communion Mass. All are welcome to join us at 8:15am as we celebrate our most recent First Communicants.
Next week is busy with events for our soon-to-be graduates. Please keep the 8th grade class in your prayers as we travel to downtown Chicago on Wednesday for Bueller Day, celebrate their last school day together Thursday with the Baccalaureate Mass, graduation breakfast, and yearbook signing party, and then send them off as graduates with our Mass and Commencement Ceremony on Friday evening. We look forward to a week celebrating the Class of 2024!
Our preschool and kindergarten students will also celebrate their last day of school on Friday, May 24th. Preschool and Kindergarten families, consider joining us for Mass that morning, your child’s last school Mass of the year!
We are still looking for volunteers for our Field Day on Thursday, May 30th. Click here to sign up and join us for this fun day!
