Notes from Dr. Mullenschlader
This coming week is Catholic School's Week. We are so proud of our Catholic school and I invite all of you to share in our joy. Come and visit us for our Open House on Sunday from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. You can come and tour the school, visit classrooms, and chat with teachers. If you have family or friends who are interested in St. Charles Borromeo, this is a perfect time to bring them to the school.
We will kick off Catholic School's Week with Mass on Monday morning. I invite you to join us for that Mass at 8:00 am. Kyle Huelsing will be leading the music. Kyle is an accomplished music minister and provides uplifting music to help us worship with greater zeal. We will also have adoration with praise and worship from 9:00 - 11:00 am. You are invited to come and join us during that time, as well.
Regarding Mass, I have gotten a few questions about what happens after Mass and why we as a school kneel down. After Father processes out and we finish singing the recessional hymn, we kneel down and say the St. Charles Borromeo Prayer. This beautiful prayer is an opportunity for us, as a school community, to thank God for the gift of celebrating the Eucharist together and acknowledging our role in the salvific mission of Jesus. Here is the prayer:
Almighty God, you have generously made known to man the mysteries of your life through Jesus Christ your Son in the Holy Spirit.
Enlighten my mind to know these mysteries which your Church treasures and teaches.
Move my heart to love them and my will to live in accord with them.
Give me the ability to teach this Faith to others without pride, without ostentation, and without personal gain.
Let me realize that I am simply your instrument for bringing others to the knowledge of the wonderful things you have done for all your creatures.
Help me to be faithful to this task that you have entrusted to me. Amen
Registration is open for current Bobcats!
