Saint Paul School will be focusing on the virtue of compassion for the month of October. Our quote is from John’s Gospel, ”Jesus saw her weeping...his heart was touched, and he was deeply moved.” John11:33 True compassion is not always easy to practice. As in the words of Jean Vanier, “Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish.” Who wants to go there when the beautiful colors of autumn are beginning to show and the sun is shining down us? This is all the more reason to show our compassion for those who cannot share in the light. Stay tuned for the many great ways Saint Paul School will be showing compassion in our school and Parish community this month!
I am very proud to announce the following students are recipients of the September Virtue of the Month Award for demonstrating the virtue of hospitality:

Congratulations to the third grade class and all students who have received awards this month. There are indeed good things happening at Saint Paul School and I thank you for the opportunity to share them with you!
I would also like to announce that the 2011 St. John Neuman Award for Volunteer Service was presented to Jennifer Newman and Rich Smith at the 34thAnniversary HOPES Dinner on Sunday, September 25, 2011. These two outstanding nominees have provided hours of volunteer service to Saint Paul School. I am grateful for their countless contributions and time.
As always, feel free to call and arrange a tour of our school. It’s great place to be!
