Dear St. Francis of Assisi students and families,
Prayer
Lord, we thank you for the many colours, cultures, and customs
that we share in this world.
In our differences, unite us by your love.
Enable us to act together to uphold life
and to make this world a just and peaceful household
for all humanity.
Today we ask you: O God, hear our prayer and grant us your peace. Amen
Christian Unity
The traditional date for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is January 18-25. The octave (eight days) has been celebrated continuously since 1894, but was a dream of many Christian leaders since the early years of the 19th century. This week we will celebrate Christian Unity when we gather for our liturgy on Wednesday.
Grad
We are looking for Grade 11 students and parents to help with Grad! Traditionally, the Grad Mass is followed by a reception with some light snacks and beverages. This is usually hosted by students in grade 11 with the help of their parents. We are also looking to create a registered St. Francis Grad society to help aid in fundraising efforts. This will benefit next year's grad class, so we would like some of this year's grade 11 parents to help take the lead on this. If you can assist with either of these efforts, please email tanner.cassidy@yesnet.yk.ca
