Wolf Weekly October 26-30, 2026
Run with the Pack: Weekly News from the Wolves’ Den!
Dear God,
Thank you for the people around us right now. As we stand together as a school today just like every morning I want to thank you for my friends or even classmates whom I rarely speak to. I am grateful for the teachers and EAs who teach me and help me succeed in my learning each day and treat us with kindness. We are also thankful for the cafeteria staff who prepare our food each day and do not let anyone in the school go hungry. As well as the custodian staff who keep our spaces clean, and our office staff who keep our school organized. We appreciate the school community and those who work hard each day to keep our school a welcoming place for everyone. As it states in Psalm 133:1: "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!".
We ask that You keep everyone in this school safe each day and support us all through each obstacle and help us all succeed in everything we do. Please help us to treat one another with kindness, respect, and an open mind. Help us to be patient towards our peers and teachers while also maintaining an open mind with every step we take and any challenges we face. As we spread Your word we ask that You give us the resilience and determination to treat everyone with equity and thoughtfulness.
In Your name we pray, Amen.

LIVING THE MISSION: FAITH AT THE HEART OF OUR PACK
Faith Fact Friday!
October 28 is the feast day of two of Jesus’ disciples, St. Jude and St. Simon.
St. Jude is the patron of hopeless causes because of the miraculous cure of the King of Edessa who had leprosy. St. Jude showed a cloth that depicted the face of Christ on the face of the king, and he was cured. So when you’ve lost something (your binder, keys, lunch bag, etc.) and all seems hopeless, say a prayer to St. Jude!
Why is there a flame on St. Jude's head, you may wonder? The flame represents the tongue of fire (or Holy Spirit) that descended upon him and the other apostles during Pentecost, which occurs 50 days after Easter Sunday.
St. Simon’s symbols include a fish or fishing lines for being a “Fisher of men,” Saint Simon was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, known by the unique nickname "the Zealot". His name comes from the Greek word zelotes, which means full of zeal, fervor, or passionate devotion.
St. Jude, St. Simon, pray for us.
