The Third Sunday of Advent - JOY!

The Third Sunday of Advent is known as Gaudete Sunday, and its theme is JOY. The word Gaudete comes from Latin and means "rejoice," reflecting the joy Christians feel as the celebration of Christ's birth draws closer. It invites believers to recognize the joy that comes from knowing Christ is near and to share that joy with others. It reminds Christians that even in the midst of life’s struggles, God’s promises bring hope and lasting joy.

At this halfway point in the season of Advent, light two violet candles and the rose candle on your Advent wreath and Rejoice! For the Lord is near!

The annual Faculty and Staff Christmas Luncheon is this Friday, December 20, beginning at 12:30 p.m. We kindly ask that you make arrangements to ensure your child(ren) is/are picked up before 12:30 p.m. so that all of our teachers and staff can join the festivities on time. Please note that there will be no Extended Care available for any grade levels on this day. Thank you!
