Message from our Principal
As you know, we celebrate Mass each week as a school family the
classes choose the theme for the Mass. Last week our Mass focused
on prayer and the many forms that it can take in our hearts, in our
minds and on our lips. Father Jim Bastien celebrated Mass with us
while Father Tom was on retreat, and he shared a powerful image
with all of us about growing up and prayer in his home.
Each night before he went to bed, Father Jim would remove his shoes
and place them at the foot of his bed in the shape of a “T”. Because
he is Father Jim, he actually sat down on the altar and took off his
The Mass Intention Book for 2021 is now shoes and shaped them as he had described. He asked the children
what shape it was and they said a “T.” But when asked if it could be
open. To schedule a Mass, please call the anything else, the children quickly responded “a cross.” Father then

practice even today. What a real and simple way for the children to
remember to pray each day, thanking the Lord for the many gifts He
gives us as we awake in the morning, and as we get ready to rest for
the night. Thank you Father Jim, for SHOWING us the power of
prayer!
