2008-2009 Parent Updates - Sacred Heart Cathedral School

SMALL GIFT, BIG SMILEOnce upon a time, my husband and I owned a Sanrio Surprises store. Youmay know it as the “Hello Kitty” store. The world-wide theme for Sanrio is“Small Gift, Big Smile”. To build upon this belief, I have said for the past fouryears, that no “gift” is too small for the SHCS Annual Fund. In these tougheconomic times, a small donation is very appreciated. Let’s all give a small giftin return for great big smiles from our kids when they see new Smart Boards intheir classrooms next year. We accept donations for the 2008-09 Annual FundCampaign through June 30, 2009. Thank you to all of you that contribute byprayer or monetary donations.In other Development news, we will be celebrating Grandparents andSpecial Friends Day on Friday, May 1st. This is one of the most fun days ofthe year at Sacred Heart! For those of you that have out of town guests coming,please let them know to save the date. If you are among the folks that don’thave relatives that can make it, then please have your son/daughter to ask aspecial adult friend to attend. We want everyone to be included!~Anita Poore, SHCS parent, and Development DirectorFRUIT OF THE SPIRIT FAITHFULNESS March 2009$H$NEWSYou have untilMay 1, 2009to earn credittoward 2009-2010 tuition!HAVE YOUTRIED TOUSE SH$?Let this weekbe a first foryour family!The seventh quality which Paul lists as the Fruit of theSpirit is “faithfulness,” meaning a conviction or beliefin respect to God and Christ. But it also is used to describethe quality of “fidelity and faithfulness.”“The character of one who can be relied on...” (THAYER)“Faithful, to be trusted, reliable...” (VINE)William Barclay calls it “the virtue of reliability”THE FAITHFULNESS OF JESUS...Jesus was faithful in fulfilling His role as the Son ofGod, just as Moses was faithful as a servant - He 3:1-2.Jesus was faithful in carrying out the work givenHim - Jn 4:34; 5:30; 6:38; 8:29WE NEED TO BE MORE FAITHFUL TO GOD AND CHRIST...In the way we use our “talents” (abilities and opportunities)Too often, people are like the one talent man, burying theirtalent; this greatly displeases the Lord - cf.
