Weekly Reflection from Dr. Mullenschlader
We are in it now! I cannot tell you how elated I am be here at St. Charles Borromeo. We are so blessed to have the children back in school. The children bring such joy to the school each day. They fill these hallways with laughter, smiles, and healthy curiosity. As we move forward this year, I will take some time each week to reflect on our mission and our school theme. This week, I have a very simple reflection. In the gospel, Jesus calls us to a child-like faith. This is a faith that is filled with wonder, awe, docility and innocence. If you do not know what I mean, come to a Mass this year and sit by the kindergartners. They exalt God with full-throated voices. Their faith is special in such a unique way and it is such a witness for all us. They give God what they have and we should too. Have a blessed week.
