Thanksgiving Blessings!
A Thanksgiving Message from Dr. Kevin Hoeffner:
For the many gifts He has given, we give thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving! As Mrs. Richmond and I prepare for our thanksgiving feasts, we will be thanking God for many things. We are especially thankful for you sharing your lives with us. Your children are truly miracles!
At any given moment, this community is welcoming new babies into the world, celebrating sacraments like weddings, baptisms and first communion, rejoicing in anniversaries and birthdays, mourning the loss of loved ones, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor and encouraging those who are battling illness. We are so very blessed to be given the opportunity to serve in this community of believers. The school accomplishes so many amazing acts of Christian leadership and service through the active participation of dedicated teachers, students and parents.
Please remember, our Thanksgiving break begins tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 23 through Nov. 25.
May God bless your family gatherings with abundant peace and good health.
