A Time to be Grateful



We remember Thanksgiving season as time for appreciation, reflection, and praise. We have so many blessings in our lives to be thankful for. We owe our thanks to the Lord who makes all things possible. I am thankful for the LCSS students who hear the call to serve and make a difference in the communities and world they live in. I am thankful for our LCSS Staff, who are dedicated, passionate, and provide a rigorous academic curriculum enriched with the Gospel message to our students. I am thankful for our parents who believe in Catholic education and give so much of their time and talent to our schools. I am thankful for our many volunteers who give back to our schools in so many ways. I am thankful for our generous supporters who give of their treasure to ensure our schools are successful and thriving in Lafayette.


I am thankful and excited to see the Lafayette Catholic Community growing and thriving. The list of things to be thankful for is endless. This Thanksgiving season let us reflect, appreciate, and praise God for the countless blessings he has given us. We are reminded in Psalm 100:


“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.


Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.”


As we spend time with our families this Thanksgiving season to enjoy the many blessings God has given us, I want to be sure I express my sincere gratitude to our LCSS Community. Thank you for all you do. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones.
