In this 3rd week of Advent let us thank God for all His blessings, let us remember His greatest blessing to us - His son, our Lord Jesus Christ

    8th Grade:
As we experience Advent let us ask ourselves if we are sharing our "LIGHT" with others around us, if we look at others through the eyes of Jesus - then we will be able to see those who are hungry, thirsty, in need of shelter, sick, in prison, dying, and be able to find a way to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
