Viator Voice: December 1, 2023
THE FIRST WEEK OF ADVENT
Come, Lord Jesus! Come! May this Advent be a time of deep renewal in my life, dear Lord. May it be a time in which I strive with all my heart to seek out Your gentle and profound voice. Give me the grace, dear Lord, to turn away from the many noises of the world that compete for my attention and to turn only to You and to all You wish to say. Come, Lord Jesus, come into my life more deeply during this Advent season. Jesus, I trust in You.

NEVADA HIGHWAY PATROL TROOPERS
Yesterday, two Nevada Highway Patrol Troopers, Sergeant Michael Abbate and Trooper Alberto Felix, were killed in the line of duty as they assisted a motorist on a Las Vegas freeway. St. Viator School offers sincere condolences and prayers to the families of the Troopers and to all Nevada Highway Patrol Troopers. St. Viator School also wishes to proudly recognize Sergeant Michael Abbate as a St. Viator Alumni (Class of 2000). This is a devastating loss for our community, and the State of Nevada as these Troopers dedicated themselves in service to our state.
