And if you can’t find a candle,
then light the wick of your wonder.
And if you can’t find your wonder,
then now might be a good time
to pray. And if you don’t
know how to pray,
then perhaps you are doing it right.
What do I know of prayer?
Only that every prayer that has saved me
is a prayer that has found me
instead of the other way round—
a prayer that comes through me,
as if I am nothing more
than flesh in service to a prayer.
And if there is a candle, then light it.
And if there is a candle, ask it
to be your teacher. And if there is
a candle, notice how far its light
can reach. See if you, too, can touch
the world as generously as a candle,
just that far, holding back not even
the tiniest measure of love.

Parent Council Volunteer Email List
We are needing to boost our parent council community. While we know everyone has busy schedules, we work hard to support our school and facilitate lots of great experiences for our students and we are needing some help. A few of our members who take on a lot of the activities and regularly attend the meetings will no longer have students at St. Elizabeth Seton next year and our attendance has been dwindling. We want this Parent Council to continue to flourish as it has for years so we are looking to you. All of that to say, we want to hear from you on what might bring you to Parent Council. Thank you!
