MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Monsignor Slade Catholic School is to promote Catholic faith and intellectual development in our students. We do this by

teaching about and modeling the precepts of the Catholic faith, as well as challenging our students with a rigorous course of study. We do

this so that they will use their faith, knowledge, and skills to shape their futures positively and work for the benefit of the whole society.

March with us this Sunday at the Baltimore St. Patrick Parade - March 13, 2016! MSCS will join Catholic

schools from around the Archdiocese for a great day of fun! The parade begins at 2 p.m. We will meet by 1 p.m.

at Area 4 (East Park – North Side) of the Washington Monument on Mt. Vernon Place in Baltimore. If you wear

your school uniform or cheerleading uniform, you can earn an out-of-uniform day. Please see Mrs. Cox or Mrs.

Slaton at the parade for your out-of-uniform pass. Hope to see you there!

Why Celebrate Divine Mercy?

Divine Mercy is God’s love meeting our human suffering

and brokenness. “God, who is rich in mercy” (Eph 2:4),

reaches down to meet the needs and overcome the

miseries of His creatures.

When we celebrate Divine Mercy:

- We learn to completely trust in Jesus.

- We grow in humility and allow the light of God’s truth to

guide us in all areas of our lives.

- We obtain graces to help us overcome our misery of

repeated (or habitual) sin.

- We become a Church of mercy, relating to all persons in

truth and love.

“At a moment as critical as our

own … the Church has the right

and the duty to appeal to the

God of mercy with loud cries”

(St. Pope John Paul II)

Will you join us in praying for

the world and for one another?
