A note from Sister Marie Isaac, OP:
We began this week with a beautiful celebration of All Saints Day at School Mass. It is good to remember that saints in heaven are praying for us but also present to guide and protect us in a very mysterious but real way. It was great to see so many of our students dressed up like a saint and knowing a little about their inspiring lives. On Wednesday, we celebrated All Souls Day in which we remember and pray for all of those who have died and gone to see God before us. The month of November is dedicated to praying for the souls in Purgatory and is a fitting time to learn about this teaching or visit a cemetery.
Know of my prayers for you and your family.
