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 Saint John Paul II School;
for their warmth and enthusiasm;
to the staff of Saint John Paul II School for
their hard work, dedication and sharing their
talents;
to the parents and guardians for their support
and generosity;
to our Trustee, Frank DiCosola, and our
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
education of the students;
to our Parent Volunteers who support student
learning and school activities;
to Father Leger and the entire Holy Family
pastoral team for their support.
Sincerely,
G. Consitt
