HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL
SEPTEMBER 4th, 2023
A PRAYER FOR THE CHANGE OF SEASONS
O God of Creation,
You have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.
As we welcome the autumn months, may the earlier setting of the
sun remind us to take time to rest.
May the brilliant colors of the leaves remind us of the wonder of Your creation.
May the steam of our breath in the cool air remind us that it is You who give us the breath of life.
May the harvest from the fields remind us of the abundance we have been given and bounty we are to share with others.
May the dying of summer’s spirit remind us of Your great promise that death is temporary and life is eternal.
We praise You for Your goodness forever and ever.
Amen
JOIN HOLY FAMILY CATHOLIC SCHOOL COUNCIL
We are just starting our fourth week of the new school year and many of you have been asking how you could best get involved in supporting our community. Please consider becoming a member of our Catholic School Council.
What is Holy Family Catholic School Council?
The role of Catholic School Council volunteers is recognized and mandated by the Ministry of Education. One of the requirements of the Education Act is that Catholic School Council elections must take place within the first 30 school days of the new school year. Please take the time to read the following Elections Package and give serious thought to running for a position. You will find it a very interesting and rewarding experience.
We’re holding the election of the Holy Family Catholic School Council on Tuesday, October 6th at 5:30 PM. The meeting will be remote so everyone can participate. If you are interested, please email HolyFamilyOwlsCouncil@gmail.com to ensure that you get the link to the meeting.
