Hello, all, and a hearty 2009-2010 welcome to you all!!  We look forward to a wonderful year with all of your children.

I would first like to offer my aid to anyone who may be in need of clarifications or questions answered about our Religious Education here at St Elizabeth.  Our goal is for your child to feel welcome and to know the love of Jesus Christ each day here at St. E’s.  Please let me know if you have questions or constructive comments to share.  I can be reached by email: bbelcher@saintspride.com.

Each Friday, at Mass, our classes offer prayers and petitions to be included with the gifts which are brought to the altar.  We would like to open this opportunity to all families by placing an Intentions basket on the round table outside of the office.  On that table you will also find a pad of paper that you may use to write your own petitions to be offered at Mass.  No one will read these petitions, they are from your heart and that will be respected.  God knows what you desire and how ardently you pray, so we would like to offer our prayers with yours for the good of all our St Elizabeth students, parents, faculty and staff.

Lastly, in honor of Respect Life Month, please begin sending in pictures of your families, any service men and women, grandparents, babies, etc.  We are constructing a ‘tree of life’ made from the pictures of the people in our lives, along with the handprints of all of our school children and staff.  Feel free to send in handprints from anyone in your family who does not already go to St E’s.  We will be constructing this tree next week, for the month of October, when the Hike for Life will take place.  Just send your pictures with your name, child’s grade and put it in an envelope marked:  Mrs Belcher, Tree of Life.  I look forward to seeing as many pictures as possible of our families so that we are all united for Life!

Below, please find the Mass schedule for the year.  This is subject to change since sometimes issues arise that are out of our control.  Please be sure to check with your child’s teacher to confirm Mass dates for your child.

• Welcome Saints

  

  Welcome to the parents' online newsletter for St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School. Published monthly from September to June, this is the place to read all the updates from our teachers, school administrators, and organizations.

• Mission Statement

  Our mission at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic School is to serve God through our ministry of educational excellence and to develop the spiritual lives of our youth within the framework of the Gospel and the tradition of the Catholic Church.

• Philosophy

  Our fundamental task is the education of the whole child, combining learning with faith, Catholic doctrines and moral teachings. We strive to instill in our students a lifelong commitment to learning, to Christian values and citizenship, and like our patroness, to community service. We are dedicated to achieving these goals within a supportive and diverse Christian community and to living our faith daily with the understanding that education is a process that never ends.
