Our St. Stephen families who remember all of the teachers and staff so generously with a Christmas gift. We appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Our Pastor, Father Larry who continues to support our school with patience
and faith knowing that we are “in the business” of spreading faith, values and
education.
Hopefully 2014 leaves you in good health and full of
God’s graces. I know we are all looking forward to time with our
family and friends this holiday. As the new year approaches and
we make our resolutions, may I suggest a spiritual renewal in
2015. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to extend the love and peace
we experience at Christmastime all through the coming year?
Merry Christmas and wishes for a happy, holy New Year.
God Bless,
In our next issue…
