We
gathered on November 22nd to acknowledge the end of the Year of Father called by Pope Benedict
XVI. We gave thanks for the blessings of
this year. We had spent time learning
more about the traditions and beliefs of the Catholic faith. It has been a time to discover
the journey of our own faith and experience with renewed joy and enthusiasm our
encounter with Christ Jesus. Having
faith means choosing to stand with the Lord so as to live with him.
To mark the end of the Year of Faith each class studied one person who was an example of a Person of Faith. These are people who let their light shine –surely and strongly. For
lots of people in history (and even some today) showing faith and letting their
light shine has meant that they are ridiculed and even punished. Light shines
when we follow the Gospel values. Each class presented one of these
people of Faith.
