welcome to 2007-08 and first school mass
Welcome back to school!
The eighth graders - the class of 2008-will-be-great - are preparing the first mass of the year. Currently they are thinkibg about our stained glass windows in church, designed by the renowned artist Gabriel Loire of Chartes, France. Loire's work in noted internationally; we are fortunate to benefit from his artistry in our own parish.
Loire's stained glass is in churches from Capetown South Africa, to Berlin Germany and California, as well as a vast number of churches in France. As a school we are united with faithful people everywhere who find inspiration in his work.
Last year's track and field day prayer service in early June started with a student reading her paragraph explaining the song "We're All in This Together" as it applied to her class of '08, our school and the entire community of God's people.
In our mass next week, we hope to build on this theme - with the idea that like stained glass windows - God's light shines thorugh each of us:
Individually we are bright. Together we are brilliant.
Something like that....we're still working on this!
All are invited to the opening school mass, hosted by the class of 2008: Friday, September 7th. 1:15 p.m. in the church with the beautiful Gabriel Loire stained glass windows, a.k.a. Saint John Fisher!
