Dear Saint Angela Merici,
You cared for poor children and taught them about God's ways. Help me to love those who are poor as you did. Amen As your child may or may not have told you, we are working through an Advent scratch calendar. Each day throughout the Catholic season of Advent has a good deed, Bible reading or something of the like to help prepare our hearts for Advent. Below are the items from our calendar so far. It would be great if you could take some time to talk about the church season of Advent with your son/daughter this weekend and maybe even complete some of the activities together!
St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and ecology. Students learned a bit about his life and what we could pray to him for. Students also learned that Pope Francis picked his name from St. Francis.
God of all nations, we thank you for the gift of all people. On this day, we especially thank you for the gift of First Nations, Inuit and Metis Peoples. Help us to love our neighbour as ourself so that everyone at our school would know that they matter, that they are important and that they are loved by us and by you. We make our prayer in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
