St. Cecilia, Pray for Us!
Fire Drill Update
On Monday, August 28th, we had our first fire drill. The whole school only took 2 minutes and 42 seconds! Our students did a great job exiting the building carefully and quietly. Our school staff helped out at the childcare to assist with getting the infants out safely.
Mass this Week
Our first reading (1 Thes. 3:7-13) and the Gospel (Matt. 24:42-51) both urge people to strengthen their hearts in preparation for when Jesus returns. In 1 Thessalonians, Paul tells them to grow in love and in holiness, so they may fill any areas of their faith which may be deprived. This is a great reminder to all of us to focus on asking the Holy Spirit to strengthen our relationship with Jesus each day. What are ways your family can grow in love and devotion to God?
