Dear Saint Peter’s Families and Friends,
I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a few relaxing days off.
Saturday, December 6th is the Feast Day of Saint Nicholas!
This Sunday, December 9th is the 2nd Sunday of Advent. The first candle represents our Hope in Christ, and the 2nd candle represents the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ:
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way”. (2Thessalonians 3:16)
Monday, December 8th, is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The school will be attending Mass at 8:30 in lieu of Thursday Mass.
An Advent Prayer for Children:
My little Lord Jesus, I love You and thank You for this Advent season. Please help me to understand all that You have done for me. Your loving mother held You in her heart and brought You into this world. Help me to do the same.
My loving Jesus, I choose You, this Advent, as my King and my God. Draw me close to You and help me to see my sins so that I can change the things that You want me to change.
Mother Mary, pray for me this Advent so that I may do all that God wants me to do. You said “Yes” to all that God asked of you. Please pray for me that I may do the same.
Come, Lord Jesus,
Come, Lord Jesus,
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
I love You, Jesus.
Amen.
“The month of December is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Chosen before time to be the Mother of God Incarnate, Jesus Christ, God created Mary perfect, full of grace, preserving her from the stain of Original Sin. Mary Immaculate is the most beautiful fruit of the work of the redemption accomplished by her Son, thereby making her the perfect model of holiness for all Christians.” (Bishop Robert Barron)
Thank you and God bless,
Kevin Fanter, Co-Principal
