Students had a peace-filled and joyful week of preparation at the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Preparation this Advent: for Christmas, for Holy Communion, and for Jesus. Our students celebrated the Advent season in so many ways! From speeches about Advent candles, painting holiday glasses, and running in St. Brigid and Our Lady of Hope’s annual 5k, these kiddos had a blast! Most importantly, they continued to learn how to love and give. Students participated in food pantry collections and engaged with their communities in Charity. As we prepare for the Light of the World to come to us again, we hope you see His light in these facesโ because we sure have. Here’s to a week full of preparation in the Christmas spirit. Happy first week of Advent!
