National Vocation Awareness Week
National Vocation Awareness Week -- January 13-19, 2013
An annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promote vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. NVAW began in 1976 when the U. S. bishops designated the 28th Sunday of the year for NVAW. In 1997, this celebration was moved to coincide with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which falls on January 13 in 2013. Beginning in 2014, NVAW will be moved to the first full week of November.

Gifts for Baby Jesus
This year during the Advent season, we are planning on placing the "manger" in the hall (near the office) of the school starting on Monday, December 3, 2012. It will remind the students as they enter the building each day that we are preparing for the "birth" of Jesus Christ our Savior.
If students would like to bring baby gifts to place around the manger, they could do so as their gift to Mary and baby Jesus. They could bring socks, rattles, diapers, onesies, make a card, etc. as possible gift ideas. Prior to Christmas break, we will ask a representative from the Midwest Pregnancy Center here in Coffeyville to come to the school to accept the gifts that the students brought. The students can feel the joy of "giving" to others
Other suggestions for items needed at the Midwest Pregnancy Center...
They are very low in layette items and diapers!!! Crib sheets, hooded towels and wash cloths, burp rags, sleepers, onesies, newborn outfits (boy), packages of 4 and 8 oz bottles, booties, shampoo, baby wash, powder and lotion, pacifiers, sippy cups, small newborn and infant toys. Diapers sizes newborn to size 6.
