Vision Statement
Committed to a vibrant Catholic education, we ensure quality learning experiences through community partnerships that nurture each student in mind, body and spirit and
embrace the teachings of Christ, giving witness to Gospel values.
THE SEASON OF ADVENT
We rejoice in the promise of your coming.
You have sent your son, born in Bethlehem.
He is the Prince of Peace and the one in
whose name all oppression shall cease. May we welcome
his coming each day and prepare for his coming at the end
of time. May we build a culture that welcomes Him by
welcoming every child born and unborn.
We thank you for the gifts of generosity, compassion,
acceptance and kindness shared by our school community.
May we find joy in His coming, welcoming the light of His
truth. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen
He Is The Reason For The Season
Christmas is a time of great joy and excitement for children who wait with anticipation to
receive presents from Santa and loved ones.
Keeping Christ’s birth at the heart of the celebration can be hard,
but not impossible. We can help our children focus on the true meaning of Christmas in
the following ways:
place the nativity scene as a focal point in your home;
assist with or contribute to charity drives;
read the story of Christ’s birth daily;
engage in a small advent lighting ceremony each week of Advent as a family;
on Christmas morning sing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus before you open up the gifts under the tree.
Christmas holds a deeper meaning for us all when we stay focused on its true meaning.
The staff of Immaculate Conception School would like to wish everyone Joyeux Noël . May God Bless you and your family.
Saint of the Month:
Immaculate Conception of Mary (December 8th)
Mary of Nazareth was a young maiden of
Israel 2016 years ago, who waited with
trusting and joyful hope for the
coming of the Saviour. As
God’s faithful servant, Mary
entrusted herself to God’s plan
when she said “Yes!” to the
call to be the Mother of Jesus.
Hail Mary full of grace, pray for us,
That we may be people of joyful hope
who hear and respond to God’s call
in our lives.
Amen.
“We are a Catholic Faith Community committed to developing and maintaining a love of life long learning, nurturing self-esteem and respect for all creation.”
Immaculate Conception School— Formosa
Let us remember in prayer
Melvin Schmidt
and Bill Oehring Great Grandfather
to Andrea and Aubri
Dupuis and Jocelyn Wilhelm.
“Gracious God, loving Creator,
Welcome Melvin and Bill into paradise.
In your love, lead them
into the unending joys
of your presence where
every tear will be wiped away,
and there will be no more sorrow.
Amen.”
