“This is how all will know that you are my
disciples
– if you have love for one
another.” John 13: 35

Congratulations to all our First
Communicants. Talk about a gift that
keeps on giving! We pray that this first
step of their journey with the Bread of Life that begins Sunday will last
through their entire lives and culminate with Him in glory for a wondrous
eternity.
“The ability to adjust is a sign of
maturity.” Looks like many of us will
have the opportunity to grow in maturity next week. We are being told that there will be work on
the water lines next week on Cady Street along our playground line. It’s possible the Cady Street exit driveway
will be blocked at times. All we can all do is be VERY careful and VERY
considerate and VERY patient. I know we
can count on all of you to keep our children safe. Thanks so much. (This too shall pass.)
An apology to Sarah Wagner in grade 7. Her name was inadvertently left off the honor
roll for third quarter. And it should have been there! We are sorry, Sarah. Congratulations too.
The Finance Committee’s budget for next
school year was approved by the Parish Council last week. Part of it included the tuition costs for
2010-11. For those who have one child in
K-8 there is an increase of $50 for the year (or less than a dollar a week);
for those with two a total increase of $95 for the year (or less than $1.75 a
week); and $125 total increase for the year for those with three (or $2.40 a
week). The actual tuition next year for
the first child will be $1700; for the second $1150; for the third $950. If someone would happen to have more than
three in school, each of them over three would be $650 a year. There is no additional book bill (often
amounting to over $100 in some schools) or registration fee. And, as most of you know, you may choose to
pay the entire amount for next year by July 31 of this summer or spread it over
twelve payments from this July through next June. We’ll send paperwork regarding all this next
week. Thanks to the generosity of our
parish members and the sacrifices of our staff, these costs are pretty
reasonable. Nonetheless, for many of you they are a real gift of love on behalf
of your children. May God bless you for
giving up other things so you can afford to have your children in this
environment in which they are helped and encouraged “to soar with the Lord!”
