Catholic Schools Week January 28 - Februsry 2
As you know, in our Catholic school, the students grow to understand
the roots of their faith and their responsibilities as Christians as they prepare to become the moral leaders of tomorrow. They are
challanged to improve the world by sharing Gospel values and living Christ's message of salvation.
This philosophy is one of the many reasons you have selected SSPJ and we are planning a week to celebrate it!
Catholic Schools Week is a great time to reflect upon SSPJ and all of you who make it a truly wonderful learning experience. This week also
provides an opportunity to discuss with others the SSPJ benefits. Please encourage friends and neighbors visit the Open House on Wednesday,
January 31.
The Open House Announcement in your packet will be distributed throughout the parishes and will serve not only as a reminder of the
event, but also as a quick summary of the SSPJ advantages. It is an impressive list of the tangible differences SSPJ has over other
schools and educational options. However, there is even more to consider.
Spirituality - Students explore their faith through classes and activities in Morality, Scripture, Church, and Sacraments. As
a faith community, we emphasize those values which encourage students to accept others rather than exclude them, to understand the
difference between right and wrong, and to commit themselves to serve God by serving others.
Family and Community - SSPJ helps students understand that each person is unique and valuable. SSPJ joins with the family to
help students understand their special place in the family, society, and the Church. Every child shares in an educational environment
filled with love and concern - a community joining together to help create a better world.
In the craziness of our daily lives, it is easy to forget how storng the SSPJ community is and the role it plays in the lives and
development of our children. Please take time during Catholic Schools Week to pause and say thank you to those who make all of it
come together, including you! And remember to remind others about Wednesday's Open House!
