Holy Name of Mary  

Catholic School

January, 2021

Dear Families and Friends,

Happy 2021!  I hope all of our school families enjoyed a blessed Christmas and we pray that 2021 will bring us an end to the pandemic and a return to our “new” normal. “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:5

A special thank you to all who made the love of Christ present during the month of December.  December 2020 was busy, filled with academics and faith building activities. All worked diligently to enliven the school with Christmas spirit. The many charitable works that were performed and the beautiful gift of our virtual pageant, offered to the community, made the joyful preparation for the coming of Christ, a blessing to all. 

During the month of January, we look forward to celebrating Catholic Schools Week!  This year our celebrations will be different, but we will still celebrate the gift of Catholic schools, especially the academic and spiritual gifts Holy Name of Mary School offers to students, families and the community. More information regarding tours, virtual meetings and activities will be posted on the website, Facebook, Instagram and in the bulletin. 

I wish you all a joyful, prayerful, healthy and productive 2021!

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Sanders
