Students will receive a "I can" film canister on Tuesday, January 18th. Students can help by putting quarters in the canisters or writing a prayer for our school. The prayers will be read during Catholic Schools Week. The "I can" canisters should be returned by January 28th.
This is part of our "Walking in Sisters" project. Please ask your child about St. Katharine Drexel.
O Generous and loving Father,
You bless us with every good thing
And call us to share our abundance
With your children who have the least among us.
For there You are.
You blessed Katharine Drexel with wealth and social standing,
But she responded to your call by using her wealth
To establish Catholic Schools to teach the message of the Gospel
To those who had the least in her time,
African Americans and Native Americans
For there You were.
Through the intercession of St. Katharine Drexel,
We ask you to send your Spirit to inspire us to work for justice
For our Catholic School children and teachers
And for our parishes and schools
Who serve the least among us
For there You are.
We ask this through Your Son, Jesus
Who promised us that
When we serve the least among us,
There You will be.
Amen
