The Diocese of Lansing recently recognized all of our wonderful school principals, including our own Gwenis Laura! Thank you, heroes for all you have done to keep our students on track during the pandemic!

With a prayer to God that He will be with you in the task that He has called you to. May He grant you peace and happiness in the days ahead. Congratulations!

Daily Prayer:

Holy and perfect God,
you know I want to be available.
Help that desire sink deeply enough into my being
for me to actually change
and to say “no” to a least one worthy, but not urgent, task today.
Give me the ability to be open to the life I am leading;
not the one I am planning to lead.   AMEN
