March 2010

Dear Parents,

Lent is a time for each of us to strive to become a better person and to be faithful to the teachings of Jesus through loving treatments of others.

We are reminded of St. Joseph, our patron saint and the important job God chose for him; protecting and providing for Jesus and his blessed mother, Mary, attests to the greatness of this just and virtuous man.  The Church honors him with many titles and patronages and generations of faithful believers have relied on his powerful intersession throughout the ages.

March 19^th, is the feast of St. Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  St. Joseph’s tremendous love and devotion to our Savior inspires us to foster friendships and become spiritual leaders.  His example and intersession are just as viable and valuable today as they were when devotion to Saint Joseph began.

We too, want to be faithful in our service to God.  We, as a school community, pray to St. Joseph for his help and guidance.  Lord as you gave strength and wisdom to St. Joseph; we also pray that you give strength, wisdom, compassion, and understanding to the fathers in all our families.  We want to live as Jesus, Mary and Joseph did in peace with you and with one another.  We want to follow the way of the Holy Family sharing mutual love and respect.

Let us during this Lenten season show kindness to one another, grow in love and continue to be inspired by Joseph, our patron saint.

Sincerely,

Mark J. Monnerat
