One of the most beautiful liturgical seasons of the year is Advent, a time set aside by the Church in anticipation of that which is not yet:
- It is not yet Christ’s historical birth celebration.
- It is not yet a time when we experience Christ (God’s Love) fully present in each of our hearts.
The majority of our Advent time here at school is spent helping the children prepare their hearts. The Adopt-a-Child program, the winter Clothing Drive, the Toy Drive and the Christmas Basket preparation process (all of which you will read about below) are meant to help till the soil of our children’s hearts, thus opening a space for God’s Love to be born anew, hopefully transforming their hearts to become Christ’s Heart Among Us today!
Thank you for partnering so beautifully in this process. The birth of Christ in each of our hearts is indeed what our world needs to experience the peace and hope and love which is the promise of Christmas.
Happy Advent!
