Today, our teachers took part in a Religious Staff Development day, beginning with a faculty Mass with Fr. Dan and Fr. Tom. Breakfast goodies and a wonderful presentation on PRAYER followed. We are so blessed to have their faithful and pastoral leadership at SDJCA. 🙏🏻
The ELC gathered for their second annual Friendsgiving Wednesday and Thursday. Each child had an opportunity to contribute to our meal of chicken soup, cornbread and cookies. Throughout the month of November, we discussed and learned about Thanksgiving and it’s many facets. Our Friendsgiving focused on gratitude and blessings as a wonderful way to come together, reflect on the goodness in life, and share in the warmth of both food and fellowship. It was special to come together to make a meal—whether it’s the comforting warmth of chicken soup, the sweetness of cookies, or the hearty, flavorful touch of cornbread—it was a reminder of how food nourishes both the body and the spirit. Sitting together and feeling the warmth of our community was a moment of connection, the love, laughter, and shared experiences enriched our gathering. Sharing this simple yet profound moment was truly a blessing.
