A  Voyage  in  Faith  and  Learning    

Dear St. Paul Families and Friends,

Many thanks to all of you for taking time last week to meet with teachers regarding your child’s progress at school. We are thankful to have that time with you as we celebrate each child’s success and also look for areas in which we can still help him or her to grow. I also ask that you remember if you ever have any concerns academically or socially about your child, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s homeroom teacher. We are very thankful for the opportunity to partner with you in the ministry of educating your child and communication with one another is a key component in building success in each child.

Thank you to everyone for supporting this year’s Wreath & Greenery Sale. Wreath and greenery will be available for pick-up after noon on Tuesday, November 20.

Next week on Wednesday morning, students in fourth and eighth grades will be hosting our annual Thanksgiving Mass at 9:00. Please feel welcome to join us. Don’t forget that on Wednesday, students will be dismissed at noon for families to begin celebrating the holiday with their families.

It is truly amazing to me to observe how quickly the year is moving. When we return from Thanksgiving break, many of our traditional

annual activities will be taking place. Students and staff will celebrate the season of Advent, community outreach to support the homeless and less fortunate will happen, and rehearsals will begin for our annual Christmas program. What an exciting time of year it is in preparing for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

In thinking about the beautiful holiday of Thanksgiving, I would like to share the following Thanksgiving Day blessing that you might like to pray with your family:

Father in Heaven, Creator of all and source of all goodness and love, please look kindly upon

us and receive our heartfelt gratitude in this time of giving thanks.

Thank you for all the graces and blessings You have bestowed upon us, spiritual and temporal: our faith and religious heritage, our food and shelter, our health, the love we have for one

another, our family and friends. - Amen

Asking God’s blessing for you and your dear ones, we assure you of our prayers, and thank you for being a faithful member of the St. Paul community.

In Christ’s Peace,

Kelli Braud
