Good Shepherd School Prayer

Thank you, God our Father

for giving us Jesus, your Son,

to be our Good Shepherd,

and for filling us

with your Holy Spirit

to be our inspiration

and our guide.

Thank you for gathering us

together in this school

and thank you for all the gifts

you have given us.

We know that each one of us

is very important to you

and so we ask you to help us

to be a loving community,

always ready to welcome others,

to share with them

and to care for them.

Help us always to use our gifts

to spread HAPPINESS in our school

and in our world.

Amen.

ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM MESSAGE - JANUARY

“Have I told you lately that I love you?” This is a phrase that all of us probably wish, that in the past, we would have said more often, and said with more passion and compassion. The month of February is the perfect opportunity to make immediate amends. The Family Dance on February 5th sponsored by our School Council is a perfect chance to celebrate love of family.

February is Heart and Stroke Month and an excellent time to support heart research and the Heart Fund. Every one of us has probably been touched by the serious illness or loss of a loved one to heart disease and stroke. We also celebrate “Random Acts of Kindness” during the week of February 15th. Demonstrating simple acts of kindness to our family, friends, colleagues and co‐workers gives one a special feeling that warms the heart. It is multiplied when it is anonymous.

On February 2nd our Edmonton Catholic School family of some 4,000 employees and invited guests come together on Faith Day to celebration our Catholic Faith. The event will be held at Shaw Convention Centre.

February 14th , St. Valentine’s Day, (celebrated on Friday, February 12th in classes), mid month, is another occasion to show our love….but don’t wait until then. Why not start immediately, make it extra special (and less commercial) and keep it going for the rest of the month.

The Family Day holiday on Monday, February 15th is another opportunity to share love within the family in a special way. Everyone loves surprises, and you could surprise your family with some very simple activities that have the family participating together in some way. Pleasant surprises have a way of increasing the excitement that we feel.

On Wednesday, February 17th we begin our Lenten Journey, and our 40 day journey with the Lord as we reflect on his love for us. With a deep feeling of passion and compassion, Christ shared with us, “Have I told you lately that I love you? We need to do the same …God Bless.
