Dear Saint John’s School Families,
Next Thursday, October 11, to begin the celebration of THE YEAR OF FAITH, students and staff will attend Mass at 8:30 a.m. Students are asked to wear their uniforms on Thursday and Friday. We will attend Mass both days.
In an earlier Chronicle letter, I shared with you that each classroom has already adopted a saint who will become very special to them. This saint’s name will identify the students, parents, teachers, and will be used in a variety of ways. This is just one of many, many special experiences that will be happening this year here at school. I will attempt to keep you informed of the activities, happenings and lessons that will challenge all of us to strengthen our faith.
Please be sure to post the HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL FLIER on your refrigerator. Again, to make this carnival extra special, it will have the flavor of our YEAR OF FAITH. Adults and children alike, everyone, should “press their creative juices” and try to attend wearing a costume that might win a prize that supports our Catholic Faith.
Ideas?????? Father Frank shared some thoughts…..Saints, i.e. Saint Lucy, Blessed Mother Theresa, Saint John the Evangelist, or the Baptist, Fishermen, Apostles, Candles, Bibles, Nuns, Priests (It is not fair, his and Father Sam are already prepared!!), Angels, Samsun, Cardinals, Alter Servers, Blessed Virgin Mary, Archbishop, a Catechism, etc. Other costumes, too, will be o.k. and fun, as long as they are appropriate and are in taste, with the use of good judgment. Please, no blood, gore and only “sweet” little witches and ghosts of that style.
Together let’s make the days and months from October 11, 2012, -November 24, 2013 a time of growth as we continue on our spiritual journey.
Shalom,
Mrs. Schmitt
