are now being accepted for kindergarten through 8th grade.
Visit our website, www.stggcs.org, and click on the
Admissions tab. It may be submitted electronically.
The first paragraph in our school philosophy states that STGGCS,
“offers a faith-based, Christ -centered learning experience that
recognizes and appreciates the uniqueness of each child and supports
students in developing their God-given gifts and talents.” This year’s
celebration of Catholic Schools Week was a living testament to this
philosophy as we saw our students shine in so many ways: actively
involved in the Opening Liturgy; welcoming and showing hospitality
during lunch with a Loved One; exhibition of an attitude of service
during Jump for the Heartand, just to name a few!
Congratulations to our second grade students and their Faith
Formation peers on their celebration for the Sacrament of
Reconciliation for the first time this past week.
We are very proud of our eighth grade students who have taken
their Catholic High School Placements tests, and are currently
interviewing for admission to St. Augustine HS, Academy of Our Lady
of Peace, and Cathedral Catholic HS. Please keep them in your
prayers during this pivotal time in the faith and academic life journey.
Last week we were delighted to see so many parents attend our
information meeting for prospective incoming kindergarteners.
Developmental screening is now under way.
As always, we thank the parishioners of St. Gregory the Great for
their ongoing stewardship and support.

Ministry for Priestly Formation
Merciful
CALLED TO BE
The future of our local Church is strengthened
by the number of men who answer the call to
a priestly vocation. We are blessed with a rich
heritage of men who have given their lives to
the service of our Church. Their living example
of Jesus Christ in our midst, as teacher, father,
friend, and brother, has enriched us with their
sacrifice and dedication to Our Lord.
“There is no greater happiness
than being called to
priesthood and to bring His
word and mercy to others.”
— Pope Francis
The responsibility, spiritually and financially,
of providing sufficient priests for the Church
belongs to all of us. We are currently
supporting 14 seminarians thanks to the
support of the Annual Catholic Appeal. This
year we ordained three priests and one
transitional deacon.
Our Office for Priestly Formation administers
the diocesan program for both pre-seminarian
and seminarian candidates and is located at
the St. Francis Center on the University of San
Diego campus. As a house of formation, St.
Francis Center, helps prepare men in each of
the four areas of formation: human, spiritual,
intellectual, and pastoral for admission to a
seminary school of theology.
Those who are called to priestly service touch
all our lives, the lives of our family members,
neighbors, friends, and our entire communities.
Our parishes have benefited from their
leadership and guidance. Our communities have
been inspired by their presence, demonstrating
that living the life of Christ daily is possible.
“Amen, I say to you,
whatever you did for one
of these least brothers
of mine, you did for me.”
Our Response as Stewards
REFLECT . . . . . . . On the many gifts you have received from God, including your
financial blessings.
PRAY. . . . . . . . . . . About how God wants you to use the gifts He has given you.
RESPOND. . . . . . . By supporting the mission. You can give at your parish or online at

you interested in learning more about Jesus?
Do you wish to make more out of Lent this year? Do you
desire to study the Sacred Scriptures?
Do you want to meet friends in your parish or rekindle old
friendships?
