CHRIST SPOKE OF THE TALENTS each one of us has, talents which must not buried. Our calling is to take those talents, develop them fully, and then use them in establishing His kingdom on earth. Are you using your talents to fulfill your vocation to service? Are you an active Christian in the parish, at your workplace, and in the home? Take some time today to reflect on how you might use your special talents in the service of the Kingdom.

All teens participate in day trips to NYC, DC, Philadelphia, Hershey Park and the beach; service projects; leadership and team building events; visits to various places of worship; and fun local outings. Teens of all faiths and nationalities are encouraged to apply. The cost is minimal and the experience is priceless! Applications are now being accepted.

It is that time of year to make you aware of Operation Snow-flake, the cancellation of classes. In the event of a snow storm, we follow the Christina School District cancellations for all day-time and evening activities. In
other words, if they are closed, we are closed. We will also send a REMIND to all our families and an email to ensure you know we have closed. Please keep in mind that it is always your call to keep your child home if you feel unsafe driving. Be safe out there!
