May it be a year of blessings, a time to cherish family and friends, a time to renew efforts at school and work, a time to embrace our faith more fully. Walk with us, please, in every day and every hour of this new year, that the light of Christ might shine through us, in spite of weaknesses and failings. Above all, may we remember this year that we are a pilgrim on the sacred path to You. Amen Dear Parents/Guardians: Welcome to another New Year. We hope that everyone in the Saint John Paul II School community was able to rest and re-energize during the holiday season. It is our prayer that this year will be blessed with good health and happiness for everyone. As this first term comes to a close, we ask that you continue to encourage your children to work hard. As always, your support in maintaining a collaborative relationship between home and school is much appreciated. Sincerely, G. Consitt Principal B.
