“Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. |
|
We are “clean of heart” when we are faithful to God's teachings and try to see God in all people and in all situations. |
|

|
At mass today we were reminded that “the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve”. (Matt.20: 28) If we are to follow the example of Jesus, we need to serve and care for others. This is not always easy to do but it is what we are called to do. I would like to thank Mrs. Meyer and 3M for preparing and participating in today's liturgy. |

Spotlight on Home & School Fundraising – At the last Home & School meeting there was a discussion about fundraising. Home & School uses the money raised to fund all the activities they sponsor throughout the year and to purchase “extras” for the school. There was overwhelming consensus to do away with fundraising and just charge a Home & School activity fee. This process will be discussed at the next meeting on April 5th at 7 pm in Schaefer Hall with the hopes of implementing the plan for the upcoming school year. If you have thoughts to share on how to fund the activities please attend. |
