Dear Parents/Guardians,
A bit of a reminder, there will be no classes or assignments for the weekend of November 30th (Thanksgiving Day weekend).
Also please be mindful that some of the downtime from school and extracurricular activities is a great time and opportunity to catch up on missed chapters from the Finding God text books.
Have a Blessed, Happy Thanksgiving Day Weekend and that the grace of gratitude continues to fill your hearts!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Blessings,
David Heimann
The Giving Tree Project
The Giving Trees are both up and stocked full of ornaments. Families may begin taking ornaments off the tree in the church.
Each ornament is labeled with a students NAME, GRADE and GENDER. Please pay special attention when shopping and purchase 2 winter warmth items which may include gloves/mittens, socks, a hat or scarf in the appropriate sizes. Spend no more than $25.00 on each child. When you are done shopping, please place the 2 winter warmth items into a ziplock bag, along with the ornament, and drop off at the Saint Andrew Rectory. Please email Julie Richards if you have any questions at julie@standrew.org.

Novena Prayer to Saint Andrew
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Andrew the Apostle
as an example of holiness.
Help us to imitate his openness to Your call in our own lives, that we may be as ready to serve You as he was.
St. Andrew, you were one of the first people to be called personally by Our Lord.
He called you and your brother St. Peter to leave behind your lives as fishermen and to follow Him as Apostles.
You followed His call to become “fishers of men.” And you remained faithful to that call,
staying with Him throughout His ministry and spreading the Gospel after His death.
You probably never would have guessed that you would be invited to be one of the
closest friends of the Son of God, but you left everything behind in order to follow Him.
Pray for me, that I may be as ready to serve Christ as you were.
Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).
St. Andrew the Apostle, pray for us!
