Week of October 2-6, 2017

Dear St. Jane Frances de Chantal School Community,
 
Today is the feast day of one of my favorite saints: St. Therese of Lisieux. This young soul is best known for “The Little Way” - seeking holiness in the little things we do in life. From doing the laundry to going to work to being with family, we are called to do all things with great love. May love and commitment light our life as we strive towards holiness.
 
Looking ahead, here is what is coming up:

• In celebration of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Blessing of the Animals is at 8 AM in the main yard. Bring your pet to be blessed. All animals need to be on leashes or in carry cages. 
• The Kindness Club is grateful for your support and prayers for the month of September.  To help our furry friends, they are collecting cat & dog food this week for the local animal shelter.
• Thank you for completing the surveys and emergency card this week .  The information was used for generating funding, such as grants, and identifying supports for students. If you still have not submitted this information, our office will be contacting you.
