Have you heard part 1 of the Class of 2024 on Porch Time with the Padres yet?
Dec 29, 2023
It may be Christmas Break, but class is still in session in Fr. Labenz's Faith & Reason classroom. The St. Mary's Colgan seniors pose some great questions to the Padres. The Padres had a blast, the seniors had a blast, and we promise you will too!

THE SHEPHERD'S FLOCK...stories from Sr. Mary Grace, IHM in our Atrium
A Reflection on Epiphany for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade Students:
In last week's presentation, we meditated on the mystery of Epiphany and why the Kings brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Linked below is a newsletter from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd website that offers a beautiful reflection on the gifts of the magi within the family. We strongly encourage you to take a moment and pray with it, even though Epiphany has passed.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed: Understanding the Kingdom of God
In a simple yet profound manner, the Kingdom of God is similar to a mustard seed.
During my presentation of this parable to a group of four-year-old preschoolers, I asked "Where is the Kingdom of God?" and received a range of responses. While some believed it was in heaven and others thought it was here on earth, one child's response was particularly precious: “In our hearts, where baby Jesus is!"
