Add a silent and live auctions, the beautiful classroom treasures and great prizes and we had the ingredients for a very fun evening! Congratulations to 2nd grade parents Jose and Rosa Prieto, who won the $5,000! I left the auction Saturday night feeling humbled by your generosity and inspired by your support The results of the fundraising efforts have not been finalized, but it's safe to say that the auction was a huge financial and community building success. We raised money for our school and we had a great time doing it! If you were not able to attend the auction you may still contribute to the Auction of Need, replacing the copy machine in the office and also helping our sister school. Please contact Gary Schwary [email protected] , or me for more information. The success we enjoyed is not an accident nor is it good luck! Effective planning, attention to details, follow-up and follow-through are essential factors when running an event of this magnitude. Please read through the list of people who contributed to make the Hollywood After Party a great success and please support our sponsors! The list is long but it tells the story about the time, talent, and resources required to put on this event and the generosity of our school community. Congratulations and thank you!

Yet, his power is also unlike that of a human king. He does not assume authoritarian leadership. He initiated his rule by healing those who were cast out, calling for love of neighbor and washing others’ feet. This is the Servant King whom we worship today and the kingdom we long to inherit. ……On the Way to Mass Today is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. Who are some of the kings we have heard stories about? I wonder how Jesus is like a king. On the Way Home from Mass……I wonder what the world would be like if everyone lived like Jesus wants us to live. ADVENT BOOKS ARE READY FOR PICK UP!
