Dear Parents,

It’s SPIRIT WEEK for St. Peter’s School, and it’s our first Shelter-In-Place Spirit Week! We have Spirit Week to celebrate our unity and school pride. Even though we are not together in the school building, there are different ways we can show St. Peter’s spirit and help others keep up their spirits. We can be grateful to our family members and caretakers at home, and help each other around the house. We can do our best as we move forward with Distance Learning. And we can make sure we pray for others and pray in thanksgiving for our blessings!

As we take part in Spirit Week and recognize the different ways we can show our St. Peter’s spirit, let us take time to pray as a community to the HOLY SPIRIT for guidance and strength, especially in these final weeks of this school year.

COME, HOLY SPIRIT,

And fill our hearts with your gifts.

Let our love be true and our charity be generous.

Help us in all our needs

and grant us the knowledge to do what is right.

Advise us in our doubts,

strengthen us in our weaknesses,

protect us when we are tempted,

and console us when we are afraid.

Graciously hear us, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into our hearts, minds, and souls.

Guide us to live holy lives and to grow in goodness and grace.

AMEN.

Take care and stay safe!

--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
