God helps us to choose to be good people.

OUR DAILY PRAYER FOR NOVEMBER:

Let us now pray.. for the grace and strength to be people of conscience-people who know the good and decent way to act and then choose to act that way.
AMEN

Therefore I do my best always to have a clear conscience toward God and all people. Acts 24: 16)

A person of of conscience...

• chooses to do the right thing, even when it is hard
• takes time to think and pray before making decisions
• knows that their actions and decisions affect all those around them
• thinks of others before themselves

CONSCIENCE is the voice of God within us. As you develop your conscience, you will learn to make decisions that will make sure you will always have love in your life. Our conscience reminds us how to act towards other people and how to be a good friend. Sometimes it is hard for us to do the right thing, but we must always remember that the right thing is not always the easy thing to do.

St. Christopher's Mental Health & Well-Being Ambassadors will be welcoming the mascot to the school. The pink dog is a fun and meaningful way to promote kindness and connection within our school community. This initiative is directly aligned with the Mental Health & Well-Being Action Plan 2025-2026, supporting our collective efforts to foster inclusive, caring, and mentally healthy learning environments.

On November 1st, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, a celebration honoring all men and women who have entered Heaven. While this includes every soul in Heaven, the focus is particularly on those who led extraordinarily holy lives on earth and that the Church has canonized as saints. These individuals honored God in a variety of ways: through deep prayer and mystical union, through enduring martyrdom or other forms of religious persecution, and through acts of service, such as caring for the needy or teaching the faith. Some saints were powerful preachers or miracle workers. Others were leaders, some lived in obscurity, and still others experienced exile or made significant personal sacrifices for their faith. In various ways, these saints glorified God during their lifetimes.
