Dear Parents
and Friends,
Happy New
Year!
May I wish
you a very warm welcome back to the 2016 school year. I trust that you have
enjoyed a relaxing summer holiday with your families and now feel refreshed and
energized for the busy year ahead.
A special
welcome to the new families who join our school for the first time. We hope
that you quickly feel part of the great spirit that is alive in our growing
community. I would also like to welcome our new staff members and wish them a
smooth transition into their new learning environment.
This year is
designated to the Year of Mercy. The motto “Merciful Like the Father” (taken
from the Gospel of Luke, 6:36) serves as an invitation to follow the merciful
example of the Father who asks us not to judge or condemn but to forgive and to
give love and forgiveness without measure (cfr.LK 6: 37-38). We are fortunate
to have Pope Francis as our leader of the Church with his warm smile, positive
message and great compassion for all, especially the poor. His influence is
enormous and his leadership a great model for all leaders at this time.
I wish all
staff and families God’s blessing for 2016.
Yours
sincerely,
Beverly
