May is a wonderful month!!!!
We enjoy sunny, warmer days and beautiful blossoming trees and flowers. We honor our mothers with a special day and we remember the gift of life they gave us and all the care and concern they show to us, their children. May is Mary's month, Mary the Mother of Jesus. We honor her in prayer especially with the Holy Rosary. We will have our annual May Crowning on May 16 and we hope many parents and parish members will join us.
At Our Lady of Sorrows School we always have the celebration of First Holy Communion as a special event. Girls and boys who have prepared all year have the wonderful opportunity to receive Jesus, Body and Blood in the Eucharist. It is a special day in each person's life, but it is also an important part of our life as a Catholic School. From now on these boys and girls can participate fully at our monthly school Mass and are able to receive communion each Sunday at the parish mass.
This is the final full month of academic work for our students. June will bring final exams, promotion, graduation and at the end summer vacation. May is our last chance to work hard and learn all we can.
Parents, please encourage your child to do their best. Homework is still important. Study time is necessary to ensure that what has been learned will be mastered and that the students are ready for exams and final projects.
May your families be blessed with peace and patience these busy days. May all of our mothers know that we love you and are grateful for your many gifts to us. May the children of Our Lady of Sorrows School grow and learn all they can.
