Dear Parents/Guardians and Friends,

Greetings of peace, love and joy!

This year is a significant event in our faith lives as we celebrate the 500 years of
Christianity in our country. As we enter the Advent season this coming Sunday, let us
look at it as a time also to recommit ourselves to the gift of faith and to prepare
ourselves for the coming of the Lord into hearts.
I hope we all stay strong even in the face of adversity this pandemic time, energized
by our Catholic faith. Let us continue to support one another even through a simple
prayer or word of encouragement.
And in this light, let us take the Advent season as an opportunity to reflect. It is a time
that asks us to ponder things in our hearts. God is telling us something, and hopefully
with some introspection and reflection we hear what He is trying to say to us. Let us
make the 500 years of Christianity alive among us especially this Advent. Let us not
get tired of sharing our time, effort, and resources in helping others, most especially
to those who are in most need. Afterall, this is the true essence of the theme for this
year’s celebration “Gifted to Give.”
As one Canossian Family, we wish you a meaningful Season of Advent as we prepare
for the birth of Jesus. May the good Lord bless and keep you!
