A Time for New Life and New Light

Dear Parents & Guardians:

A New Year has begun with Advent and the preparation of a Christmas event which is useless without Jesus. Advent is an opportune time to celebrate the re-birth of a child - one whose extraordinary challenges and changes became the model of a new way of being - a fully human being. Advent and the re-birth of Jesus is a providential opportunity and revitalization of new life and new light in our way of living.

Our world, in a variety of unique ways, seems to be leading us into a kind of darkness. Multi-tasking has led us to a frenzied existence. As adults, there appears to be little time for personal space or quiet. Children have an expectation - be it the newest style of clothing, the best toys on the market, and of course, the latest technology. Apart from family job losses, men, women, and children's lives are being taken with minimal or no reason and the saga goes on.

As Advent nears closure and the light and the joy of Christmas is upon us, we must remember the birth of Jesus, celebrate the life of Jesus, and still believe that God gave to us Jesus as the model for humanity. Every Christmas we have the gift of re-birthing our humanity which is one of faith, one of hope, and the greatest one of love.

I wish each of you a joyful Advent and a blessed Christmas of new life.

Sincerely,

Sister Ann Therese
Principal
