Ebb and Flow
May the God of peace make you perfect in holiness. May He preserve you, whole and entire, spirit, soul and body, irreproachable at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Join us on November 9th at 2 p.m. in the gym as our 3rd grade and student council teach us more about the saints!
Our desire, or perhaps our faith in the possibility of becoming saints, ebbs and flows. Sometimes it seems like sanctity is truly within our reach, and we're ready to practically canonize ourselves! I remember attending a retreat as a sophomore in high school, and on the way home, on a complete "retreat high," thinking that if I died then, surely I'd be an immediate saint!
At other times, our belief in Heaven or the possibility of becoming a saint seems impossible. I have also experienced this. It took much perseverance in faith and prayer to be convicted once again that sanctity was in fact what God wanted for me, and that it was possible.
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints Day. Whether you find yourself in the "ebb" or the "flow," rest deeply in the conviction that:
1. It is possible to become a saint.
2. God wants you to become a saint.
God is faithful. Therefore, He will do it.
May our Blessed Mother, your guardian angel and all your holy patrons watch over you and protect you today and always.
Sr. Mary Agnes, C.K.

Thanks for helping us to make the bazaar a success!
Thanks to all the families that have brought in items for the bazaar games and signed up to help with a game! There is still time to bring in bottle mania prizes to the office!

-Any SMALLER bottled items (travel sized) Can be silly items, too! Think cheaper, bulk items
·Pop cans or small bottles of pop- all varieties, Gatorade, juice boxes, or any bottled drink
-Individual chip bags, cereal boxes, cookies

...think anything individually wrapped/bottled that kids would love! Be creative!

Candy Tithing...What is it?
Children donate 10% of their Halloween candy to those in need.
Why?
This is a great practice for what it means to tithe. For every 10 pieces of candy, they set aside one piece to give away.
When?
Bring the tithed candy to the school office on Thursday, November 2nd and Friday, November 3rd.
Thank you and God bless you!
