SCRIP Program
Who is looking to save money on tuition? SCRIP is a perfect program to earn
money towards tuition. Whenever you purchase gift cards through the SCRIP
program, a percentage of that gift card is applied toward tuition. Cash and Carry,

area. Anyone interested in more information is encouraged to stop by Cash and
Carry on Friday between 8:20 and 8:50 a.m. in the cafeteria.

How can we grow in the virtue of purity this Advent? Consider going to Confession, doing one act of
kindness a day, or spending an extra 10 minutes alone, talking with God. Being “free of sin” is the only
way for US to hold and fully appreciate the beautiful Gift of Jesus!
Prayer Intentions
Each week we pray for our school community. If you have a special intention you would like to have listed in the Newsletter, please contact Mr. Frye at [email protected].
Please pray for: David Pohland Avery Soich Catholic Education Liz Kozar (grandmother of Julianna and Ava Kozar) Dawn Berkebile Karen Gross We humbly ask Rose Hawthorne to intercede for Michael Walker and that with God’s mercy, he may be healed.
Virtue of the Month
Purity- Keeping your soul free of sin
"To defend his purity, Saint
Francis of Assisi rolled in the
snow, Saint Benedict threw
himself into a thorn bush, Saint
Bernard plunged into an icy
pond . . . You . . . what have you
done?"
--St. Josemaria Escriva
