Jr. OLPH – Thanks for your Roles & Spirited Attitudes!

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

I want to thank each one of you for your excellent Roles yesterday.  Br. Eric  (Treasurer and Spiritual Correspondence for the Orlando Comitium) went back to the Orlando Diocese with a happy heart full of great hope for our faith & the Legion of Mary. He was so pleased to witness your sincerity, your academic skills & dedication for our O.L.P.H. Jr. Praesidium.  Br. Eric contacted Deacon Manny who is the Spiritual Director for the  Comitium, to share his afternoon with him. Deacon Manny expressed congratulations to each of you but mostly for your parents, teachers &  grandparents who support & teach you to stay committed to our faith & Legion. He also asked that Principal Leigh know how impressed and pleased he was with all the her pupils and was amazed with Julia & Avery’s sharing  & understanding of their interpretation of the handbook study.  Thanks to Elida, Br. Eric loved your famous tuna sandwiches!! Praising God for answering the call of our Blessed Mother to remember Jesus.

Thank you all for the great representation of both our Parish & School. God Bless everyone,

Geeta H.

SACRED HEART SCHOOL – LIVING – SAINT MUSEUM & EXHIBIT

The lights were dimmed and the Sacred Heart Catholic School gym was transformed into a museum Friday, October 30 in celebration of All Saints’ Day. The 2015 Saints’ Parade, Museum and Exhibit, hosted by Sacred Heart Catholic School, offered visitors of all ages a chance to learn about many Saints’ lives. Every class contributed a project such as posters, dioramas, life-sized paper doll Saints and even pumpkins decorated as Saints! During the school mass that day, the Saints’ Parade was the introduction to our celebration. Later in the day, the gym was transformed into a museum as “living statues” quickly became the highlight of the event. What a great success the Saint’s Mass and Saint’s Museum of 2015 was for our school – so proud!
