Jesus Is Our Shepard
We are in the midst of the Easter Season.
We celebrate Easter for fifty days until the feast of the Pentecost. We celebrated the fourth Easter Sunday, Good Shepherd Sunday, and Vocations Sunday. Jesus speaks of himself as the Shepherd prepared to lay down his life for his sheep.
Jesus is the Good Shepherd who cares, watches, and protects those who believe in Him. This is a beautiful message for anyone who seeks peace with God. To be in the Lord's flock is to be in a life-changing, transformative relationship with the Lord.
To know the Lord is to see our life changed by that very relationship. It is to hear the voice of Jesus and distinguish it from others so that we may glorify God in all things.
"The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want." ~ Psalm 23
Sincerely in Christ,
Elizabeth Joseph, Principal

1-12 Teacher/Student Ratio & Flexible Schedules for Working Parents
Through a combination of play-based, sensory, hands-on opportunities and structured activities we concentrate on spiritual, social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth. Each of the classes focus on the age-appropriate developmental needs of the children in our care.
