Dear Families of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School,
As we begin the month of May, we are excited to celebrate and honor our Mother Mary. Attached to this email are a variety of activities and videos for all age ranges. This is an opportunity for our students and families to learn more about our Mother - the Mother of our Lord and the Mother He gave us on the Cross. I encourage you to take some time today to pray-fully complete some of the activities or watch a video or two with your children. Additionally, we are excited to keep this day interactive. Mr. Nestor Cayanan, our Religion Coordinator, will be live-streaming for us again similar to what we did on Holy Thursday. Mr. Cayanan will lead both a live digital Bingo game (with prizes!) and will lead us in praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary. We hope that you will join our school in those activities. Please carefully read the instructions and follow the links below for all the information needed to fully participate. Finally, know that I am praying for you and your family as you come towards the end of the school year. I pray that we may echo Mary’s fiat, Mary’s yes, to the plans God has for us. Mary, Mother of God - pray for us!
