Virtue and Saint of the Month | September 2012

2:35 PM | Posted by |

With the help of our K4J (Kids for Jesus) program, here's what our students will be learning this month...

Virtue of the Month: GIVING: I offer my best to Jesus and others all day long!

Scripture Verse: God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Cor 9:7)





Virtue Campaign: Give your heart to the One who loves you the most!
The beginning of the school year to begin the habit of visiting Jesus in the chapel to thank him for all the beautiful gifts that he gives us.  Going to the chapel to pray is a great way to grow in our love for Our Lord.  For each visit to the chapel for Mass, or Communion Service, or just to say hello to Jesus, students can place a small white circle on their class monstrance posted just outside the chapel doors.  Our campaign is to see which class will visit Jesus the most this month.

September Virtue Campaign: GIVING - Give your heart to the One who loves you most


Saint of the Month: St. Martin of Tours
St. Martin of Tours. St. Martin was an army officer who wore a long, warm cape. One day he rode his horse near a poor, shivering man. Martin stopped and slit his cape in two with his sword and gave half the cape to the poor, cold man. Later that night when Martin was sleeping, he dreamed that Jesus had taken the place of the poor man and was wearing his cape. St. Martin understood that by GIVING to the poor man, he had GIVEN to Jesus!

St. Martin, help me GIVE to God and others from my heart, as you did!
