Dear Parents,
During this beautiful and special week of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne’s Feast and in anticipation of Thanksgiving, I wish to express my deep gratitude to God for so much at this Academy.
Among the many things I am thankful for I include:
- Our saint’s holy presence (both her physical resting presence and her palpable spirit),
- Our unique mission as articulated by The Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart Education,
- The lives of our alums (who impress me regularly with their generous lives of service and sacrifice), and
- The strength with which the mission is lived by our current families, our faculty, our staff and our students.
I am humbled by the fact that so many from around the world and from around the country have been e-mailing Feast Day wishes or sharing how they are celebrating the day. On Philippine’s Feast, we received messages from the international alum association, from the national Sacred Heart alum association, from individual RSCJs from around the world and even from some people I didn’t know.
Among the many inspirational messages we received, I encourage you to watch this adorable one from our Sacred Heart school in Grand, Coeutau, La.
We are indeed blessed to be in this place!
With a heart filled with gratitude in anticipation of Thanksgiving,
Sister Glavin
