A note from Sister Marie Isaac, OP:
Tomorrow we move into October by celebrating the feast day of St. Therese of Lisieux, a young, French Carmelite nun who lived in the 19th century. She is most known for her complete trust in God and her “little way” of confidence and love. Let us ask St. Therese to help us follow the Lord in the joys and challenges of life.
Join your SVDP school and parish community for the annual Oktoberfest celebration on Saturday, Oct 1st from 5:30-8:00pm. Event will be held on the school’s lower playground and Columbine Street. See you there!
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
