School prides itself in the many Community activities in which our
children are involved The "community" includes the children who attend
the school along with their parents, the parish of The Annunciation of
the Lord, the city of
Because we are a Faith
Community, our main objective is to be involved in such activities and
programs that demonstrate our faith and our sense of sharing and concern
for each other and those around us. Each day, during our lunch period,
our children pray for individuals who are on our prayer list. School and
Parish families often request our prayers for individuals who may be
going through a difficult time. Our children offer their prayers for
these people in need. They are also encouraged to have their own private
intentions and to pray for each other. Many of our prayers have been
answered, and the children are pleased when they receive notes of thanks
from the individuals for whom they prayed.
All of our children,
parents, faculty and staff realize the importance of the relationship
between the school and church. Daily Mass is available in the chapel and
the children are encouraged to attend. Throughout the school year, we
have regularly scheduled Masses, which the children attend and their
parents and parish community are invited. Each Grade takes a turn in
being responsible for the Mass; serving on the altar, doing the
readings; and presenting the gifts. Many of our children are Altar
servers in their own Parish churches as well.
