Greetings Divine Mercy School Families:

         As many of you are already aware, the McCarthy family has been dealing with an accident that has their son Zach in the hospital.  Our school children have been praying for a full and speedy recovery.  The school community also wanted to help in a temporal way.  We decided to have a dress down day to raise funds for the family as they drive to and from the Cities during this recovery period.  I am awed by the overwhelming response of our students.  The monies that they raised were indicative of the generosity of their hearts.  I am so pleased to be able to work with these exceptional students everyday.

            I would also ask that you add Jane Hake to our prayer list.  While driving on Tuesday night to our School Board meeting, she flipped her car.  She totaled her car.  She spent a good portion of Tuesday night at the Emergency Room.  Miraculously she did not break any bones as determined by the various x-rays.  She is very sore and bruised.  Please pray for a speedy recovery for her.  We appreciate her gracious service to the board.

            Please continue to encourage your children in fostering the attitude of gratitude.  There are many times when we focus on the negative and forget how many positives there are all around us.  I am grateful especially for the love and support of our priests, parish and school community.  I am delighted to see the commitment to all of the various school projects and fundraisers.  Thank you for continuing to give.

            We begin our Catholic Education Fund Drive .  Just like at home, the bills continue to increase.  We hope as we grow our funds that we can open our doors to more students with financial needs.  I am thankful for the gift of all our benefactors.  Thank you for financially supporting the mission of bringing students to Christ. 

            I continue to pray for all the needs of the community.  I pray that we would continue to follow the lead of God as we move forward with our projects.  I would love to hear from you all.  If there are ways that we can improve, please let me know.   My e-mail address is bseidel@divinemercycatholics.org.
