To share our humanity and transform our lives
You came among us, Lord Jesus.
Enlighten our minds to the fullness of Your spirit
and open our hearts to the fullness of Your love
that we may spend these weeks of preparation
thinking about what Your coming among us truly means
and the mystery of Your love for us.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
During the Advent season as we prepare for
the celebration of Christmas, it is easy to get
so caught up in the preparations and festivities
that we forget to take time to reflect and give
thanks.
We would like to take this
opportunity to give thanks:
to the students of Pope John Paul II School;
for their warmth and enthusiasm;
to the staff of Pope John Paul II School for
their hard work, dedication and sharing their
talents;

Superintendent, Les Storey, for their
continual guidance and support;
to the Catholic School Council who have
worked so hard at providing valuable and
positive enhancements that assist in the

to our Parent Volunteers who support
student learning and school activities;
to Father Leger and the entire Holy Family
