St. Luke Weekly SMORE

Dear St. Luke Families,

During Sunday’s Mass the Most Holy Trinity was celebrated. Saint John tells us, “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Trinity Sunday is about unity. The devil divides. In fact, the Greek word for devil, diabolos, means “to divide”. Satan aims to please the self and divide us from the multiplying force of God’s love.

Jesus came to save us from the Great Divider. Last week the Church celebrated the Feast of Pentecost, the Arrival of the Unifying Holy Spirit. While Jesus ascended back to the Father he did promise the Apostles (and us) to send a Helper. Two thousand years later, the Holy Spirit has continued to guide the Church. The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity celebrates the truth that God is love. Three Persons. One God. It is the simplest, yet most mysterious Christian truth.

This week students are busy finishing up assignments and units in preparation for the end of June. The office is also busy with end of the year preparations as well. In order to assist us with the planning for next year I ask that if you are moving and transferring to another school that you reach out and let the office know.

Next year we will have one less teacher here at St. Luke. We have to work within our budget constraints which has been felt division wide. I have full confidence in our amazing teaching staff that all of our student's needs will be met. We are fortunate to still have smaller class sizes and amazing supports (Family Wellness Worker, Inclusive Learning Facilitator and Mental Health Capacity Builder) in our building that facilitate student learning in all areas.

We are hoping our school community will spread the good word about our 'hidden gem' of a school. Presently we still have room in our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Program and welcome new registrations. Tell a neighbor, friends and family!!

It's going to be a beautiful weekend. Enjoy with your families,

Cathy Hinger

Principal
