Principal's Letter
December 6, 2019
Dear Parent/Guardian,
“… for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7
Today we celebrate the feast of St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas was a Bishop who lived in the fourth century. His parents were wealthy and left him a lot of money when they died. He used this money to help the poor. As a result he gained the reputation of being kind and giving secret gifts to people in need.
Do you remember the first gift you ever gave? What does the memory say to you today? As a child we are introduced into gift giving and receiving. It is an experience we have come to value as we grow into adulthood. As we reflect on buying gifts, giving gifts, and receiving gifts it is likely we remember the relationship between the giver and the receiver after the gift is forgotten.
Gifts are given at Christmas as a reminder that God gave us Jesus as our brother. This is a gift we will always remember because as with all gifts the relationship remains forever!
