Advent Season - Joyful Anticipation of Jesus


Advent season is about the joyful anticipation and prayerful preparation for the coming of Jesus.  In fact, the word advent is derived from the Latin word Adventus - meaning “coming.”  So while our school children are winding up the first semester of this year:  studying for finals; attending winter sporting events, and daydreaming about Christmas break - we are also mindful that Jesus Christ is the reason the Lafayette Catholic School System exists.  As we prepare an enriching and challenging academic environment, we are also called to develop each child spiritually, and help them grow in their faith.  

It is tradition this time of year that as we celebrate, we also show our faith through service to others. It is heartwarming to witness our LCSS students put their faith in action by giving of themselves at a time that can be extra challenging for those in need. We are also humbled by the generosity and support of all our parents, volunteers, teachers and staff.  Thank you all!  Have a very Merry Christmas, and a Blessed New Year.
