Seton Live Calendar CONGRATULATIONS to Miss Erw in, our Music

Department Chairman and director of the Beginner

Band, Concert Band and Chorus; Mrs. Kelly, direc-

Jazz Band; and all of our student (and teacher)

musicians. The Christmas Concert Wednesday

evening was magnificent. Thank you for sharing

your talents with us.

THANK YOU to all those who contributed to

and helped put together the Good Neighbor Bas-

as grateful as the neighbors who live at 9311 Ma-

A CHRISTMAS MEDITATION,

from A Woman Wrapped in Si-

lence by Father John Lynch:

“She wrapped Him up in swad-

dling clothes and laid Him in a

manger.”

Only that. The brief, sweet offices

Of motherhood, the gentleness that cared

Thus for a Child’s small need; the simple, calm,

Unhastened task, that in the very words

The telling takes, is strong with humanness,

And sure with peace, and must forever keep

Him ours, and say forever she is ours.

Only that, No word of great travail,

No word of pain, or fright, or ecstasy,

No strangeness. Only that. The quiet hands

“Wrapped Him up in swaddling clothes, and laid

Him in a manger.”

Jesus, thank you for becoming one of us. Mary,

Mother of Jesus and our Mother, pray for us.

May God send all of our Seton families many bless-

ings during this Christmas season.

will take about 30 minutes and is mostly indoors but bring a coat because the Holy Family and ani-

mals will be outdoors. Please see the flyer for more details.

If your family reaches its $350 goal by December 31, 2016, then your

child(ren) will receive a sweatshirt day on a designated day in January. Also, the holi-

days are a great time for students to ask visiting relatives and friends about purchasing

quickly towards your family goal! Questions regarding the Seton Spirit Ad Cam-

paign? Contact Charlotte Guyant at adcampaign@setonschool.net.
