So blessed with your expertise!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>Office Manager</b>: <u>Heather McBride</u>: your presence is terrific with your gentleness, joyfulness, and working so well with our children, parents, and families. As you are the first person in person or on the phone for our School, great work!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>Preschool</b>: <u>Brittany Lemieux</u>: What a fantastic opportunity within two weeks for School to join our family! We are so grateful for another great member of our team. We are excited about your new experiences with our little ones. Congrats, and welcome back to God’s Country!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>Kindergarten</b>: <u>Marnie Kostiuk</u>: your faith, excitement, and energy are pretty cool to watch teaching closely with our belief in a Catholic/Christian school. You, too, have now given several years teaching at STA Saints, and you undoubtedly bring new energy with gratitude.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>1st/2nd Grades</b>: <u>Jane Pierce</u>: Praise God for your many years, continuing to educate in the “old school” into new opportunities. Your peacefulness and great music set the class with more calmness, even when our kiddos are full of energy (and praise God with their energy!). <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>3rd/4th Grades</b>: <u>Joan Ecklund</u>: As our most extended and experienced teacher for many years, continue to share your experiences. Sometimes we do not need to build a new wheel when she has already “been there, done that,” which didn’t work. Thanks for your many expertise to support we young pups <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>5th/6th Grades</b>: <u>Sydney Raboin</u>: And, congratulations to you, and an honor to help you with your first teaching position! I am so blessed as you enter a different, new, and challenging year. Your kindness and toughness from bias from me are running perspective in life. Keep rollin!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>Music</b>: <u>Kathy Tompkins</u>: What another new employee to share the beauty of music—a possible choir, band, and chanting. We thank you for continuing to show these fantastic gifts, especially when it may be tough to sing loud or play instruments, which we know that you will find ways to teach well!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>Art</b>: <u>Mary Martha Watters</u>: I have mentioned this to you and others, that I am big time into logic in my brain, less with noticing beauty. Last year I walked in, caught the art from our students, and thought to myself, “My goodness…that IS art!” When I notice art like that, it may only make my day. Great to have you again!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">• <b>Teacher Aid</b>: <u>Shay Spry</u>: another new employee to our team, and we are blessed for your entry to support our teachers, work with our students, and continue to work with our goals, beliefs, and opportunities. Welcome on the train!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Finally, here is the prayer that I will be offering for our employees and those working in other schools (public and home schools) this weekend:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">“<i>Lord our God, in your wisdom and love you surround us with the mysteries of the universe. In times long past you sent us your prophets to teach your laws and to bear witness to your undying love. You sent us your Son to teach us by word and example that true wisdom comes from you alone. Send your Spirit upon these students and their teachers and fill them with your wisdom and blessings. Grant that during this academic year they may devote themselves to their studies and share what they have learned from others. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen!</i>”<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">Buckle up for 2020-2021!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">God Bless!<o:p></o:p></p>Fr.

In this daily homily I asked our parishioners, and ask you today two questions, that hopefully support your journey:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">1.) Who may you encourage someone else today? Spouse? Children? Teacher? Grandkids? Parishioners?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">2.) Who have you recently experienced encouragement from someone else? <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">I know that in my life now, encouragement certainly supports my relationship with God, as all of our encouragement originally comes from God through you! And thank you for your encouragement to me. Praise God!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Earlier this week, we had another passage using that same crucial word:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 1in;">“<i>Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace, <b>encourage</b> your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word</i>” (2nd Thessalonians 2:14-17).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">To conclude this article, let us grow by offering and receiving encouragement! Don’t we need that more than ever? And “stand firm” against any polarization, hate, anger, judgment, or gossip. Let’s keep rollin’ as a family as brothers and sisters!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">God Bless!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p> </o:p></p>Fr.

text-indent: 0.5in;">Brothers and sisters, our family needs support in a few different places.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Specially, we have many people making decisions, according to their discernment and their health, as our service could always use more support.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Here is where:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">At our Tabernacle Society, we need several individuals.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Many years ago, we had 8-10 different teams that took turns to clean our parish.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Many of these men and women have served for many years.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Now it is time for new generations to use your time and talent—stewardship, to continue to clean our parishes!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">This not only keeps us safe during Covid-19 but also saves money for our budgets.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">If you or your family would be able to serve this way, please contact me, Les Hendrickson, or Jackie Glowack.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">We could also need support in our St. Thomas Aquinas cemetery.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">And if you love history, this would be a place for you!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">I mean, we have records for our cemetery and plots almost a century old!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">As we are very blessed with a crew of parishioners that have been cutting and trimming the grass, we could also use some muscle to fix some headstones and footstones to keep our buried brothers and sisters revered.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Also, we do have a Cemetery Board, which is also needed.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Again, please call me, Les Hendrickson or Jackie Glowack.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Finally, as I want to connect to our families in our parishioners, please know that we continue to grow with students who have been registered at St. Thomas Aquinas School Saints—praise God!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">Please continue to pray for all of our (home)schools, public schools, and ours that God's will may be done.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">If you know anyone in your family, friends, or acquaintances who are still discerning where to send their kids to go, please pass our school's number at 283-3430.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;">God Bless!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;

And that is how I want our team/family to walk with each other.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> Next, our goal is to have your school five days a week. Our faculty, parents, and students at St. Thomas Aquinas School may grow with peace and calmness during this time. Our school is a Catholic/Christian School, allowing many opportunities for prayerfulness, "holy spaces," safety, health, and of course, Jesus Christ. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">Also, we will be having max numbers for classrooms: PreK = 10 students per session, Kindergarten = 10, First-Second Classroom = 15, Third-Fourth = 15, Fifth-Sixth Grade = 15. We have done the best we could speak with all of our families who had their student's last school year, as well as our families at our parishioners. It will now offer registration for families in our community. Please call our school and registration as soon as possible due to the safety of the maxed classrooms.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> Finally, adding to this bulletin article, you may pick up Principle Jerry's Covid-19 Preparedness Plan. Now, he did not make this up by himself! He received a lot of information as our Dioceses worked together within the Minnesota state that arrived at our Diocese of Duluth. After that point, it came to our school. At the same time, each school will experience different situations, especially at the beginning of the year.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> May we all pray for our students, parents, families, teachers, administrators, and our whole family as school 2020-2021 school year begins!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"> God Bless!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p>Fr.
