Thursday Thoughts

May 3, 2012

Carlton Rider

Principal

     Each year, in fact twice a year, our teachers give of their time to a cause they feel is extremely important.  Realizing that many families are struggling to make ends meet, and that the cost of a Catholic education keeps rising, our teachers just haven’t sat back and wondered what can be done, they have acted and worked hard to raise money to be used for tuition assistance. Combined, both the poinsettia sale in December and the spring flower sale in early May realize a little over $10,000 that is put into a tuition assistance fund called the Teacher’s Tuition Assistance Fund.  Parents are given an opportunity to apply for assistance from this fund and are usually notified in early June how much they received.  Although I don’t have an exact number, I believe that the teachers have been involved in these flower sales for over 25 years.  Multiply that number by $10,000 and you can appreciate what our teachers have done over the past years and continue to do to help families in need of financial assistance. Next time you see one of our teachers, you might thank them for all they do to help make coming to St. Mary’s as  affordable as possible.

Internet Prayer

Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thy image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thy Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
