For our new families or parents that may not have been able to at- tend, our Faith Rally is a whole school event (parents are invited and encouraged to attend!) in which we celebrate and grow in our faith as a whole community.

The students are grouped by Faith Families for the day with 8 th graders leading the charge of those families with a teacher. Families rotate through various stations such as Saint Skits, adoration, and service projects. When asked last year what their favorite part of the day was, most of the students said it was adoration, when Father James Cuddy, O.P. brought Je- sus in the Blessed Sacrament to each person to pray over them. Many students drew that moment as their favorite! We welcome Father Cuddy from Providence, Rhode Island back this year. We are blessed to have him join us as he brings a great love of the Blessed Sacrament and exposes the children to the vocation to religious life as a priest.

Educating the Whole Child — Mind, Body and Spirit

Faith Rally Time! (New date: Thursday, January 31, 2013)
“This is the reason we’re at this school.” This statement was made by a parent following our inaugural Faith Rally last
year at the conclusion of Catholic Schools Week. For our new families or parents that may not have been able to at-
tend, our Faith Rally is a whole school event (parents are invited and encouraged to attend!) in which we celebrate
and grow in our faith as a whole community.
The day begins with Mass and continues in the Social Hall with adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The students are
grouped by Faith Families for the day with 8th graders leading the charge of those families with a teacher. Families
rotate through various stations such as Saint Skits, adoration, and service projects. When asked last year what their
favorite part of the day was, most of the students said it was adoration, when Father James Cuddy, O.P. brought Je-
sus in the Blessed Sacrament to each person to pray over them. Many students drew that moment as their favorite!
We welcome Father Cuddy from Providence, Rhode Island back this year. We are blessed to have him join us as he
brings a great love of the Blessed Sacrament and exposes the children to the vocation to religious life as a priest. We
hope that many of you will join us for this beautiful day in this Year of Faith!

Artist of the Week by Mrs. Fioritto, Art Teacher
This week's very talented and creative artist is Noah
Schraut in 7th grade. Noah did an excellent job on
his "warm-up" exercise in which all students were
given the same set of instructions - such as drawing
4 straight lines, 3 varieties of dots, a circle touching
one dot, curved and angle lines, then coloring in with
marker in a variety of patterns and solids, leaving 3
spaces white. This assignment showed us that we
are all unique and capable of making our own crea-
tive choices! See more outside the art room - they
look really cool all together, like a big quilt! Well
