St. A's School Updates
May 6, 2024 - May 11, 2024
SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Love: The True Identify of Christians
"In the Gospel of today, Jesus showed us more qualities of this love that should be our identity. This love for one another, he said, must be according to His own love for us. Hence, Jesus is telling us that the love that should distinguish us from other people is a sacrificial love, a love that is ready to burn out like a candle in order to light others. A love that does not end on the lips, but is shown in service to others.
A love that is ready to sacrifice something precious for the sake of the beloved. This love can be expressed through offering of one’s time, money, and talent for the good of other people. It is a love that goes out in search of those who offended it so that it can forgive them. It is the love that defends the poor and the weak. It is a love that is founded on honest service to other people. This is the type of love that should be the identity of every Christian.
Dearest friends, we will lose our Christians identity whenever we hate other people. We will lose our resemblance of God whenever we fail to love as Jesus loved. We will cease to represent Christ in the world whenever we hate our neighbors, friends and other people."

Principal's Message
Good morning Parents/Guardians,
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
Today, we celebrate our scholars as they continue their personal journey with Christ. Congratulations to Harper Robinson, Reagan Ford, and Isaiah Stokes who made their First Communion this Sunday.
Special Prayers for Phillip Sahou who will be receiving his First Communion on Mother's Day at St. Vincent's Church.
Let us continue to pray for our scholars Olivia Burroughs who received the sacraments of Baptism/ First Communion/Confirmation and Cassidy Ford who received the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation during the Easter Vigil.
As a faith-based institution, we will continue to support our scholars as they deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. Through religious teachings, pray and worship, we will assist young people to see and understand the role of faith in one’s daily life and in the larger society.
Have a blessed week!
Mrs. Bradwell
