Parish Bulletin Article: "National Catholic School Week": 1-27-19

            Welcome to 2019 National Catholic School week!
I hope you enjoy Mass at 10:30am as our school students will be serving, reading, offer the bread, wine, and water as well as donuts and coffee after Mass.
Thank you for your support for St. Thomas Aquinas School, most lately with the United Catholic Raffle Tickets.  With your time, talent and treasure, and most of all your prayers, you can see the abundance and growth.  Since the summer of 2014 when we had only 19 students registered, and possibly closing the doors, we now have 58 students (13 more than last year), and in the next school year, we will have even more.
I believe what Jesus said, “Let the children come to me…,” and praise God for this mission for St. Thomas Aquinas School Saints!
I also believe in the impact of having students in Catholic schools in our Diocese of Duluth, as each student is in the presence of the best teacher—Jesus Christ—with 1,200 hours a year.
As we continue to welcome more students at our school, as well as their parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends, our parishes could also grow, and vice versa.
Please continue to pray, serve and follow God’s will in your life for our school, parish, community and our Diocese of Duluth.
Finally, please come on Monday to Mass at 8:30am, a dinner with chili and cornbread at 5:30pm and Fr. Dave Forsman right after with his talk "Hymns of St. Thomas Aquinas" as January 28th is the feast of our patron, St. Thomas Aquinas.
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!
God Bless!
