Veteran's Day Remembrance, 2010

On November 11, we remember those members of our military who are serving - or who have served- in our Armed Forces, both at home and abroad. On Wednesday, November 10th, our middle school students ended the day with a Memorial Service. Mrs. Ann Louise Sullivan, our Grade 8 History teacher, developed this service many years ago. During the service, students remembered the conflicts in which our American soldiers have fought throughout the centuries. The service began with a remembrance of those who gave their lives for our independence from England, the American Revolutionary soldiers, and continues to our present-day wars. The service ended with our prayer for the safe return of those soldiers now serving in the Middle East. Finally, students placed memorial on the altar so that all students will remember to pray for peace. At Christmastime, many of our students will make prayer cards to mail to our soldiers overseas. Please join us in prayer for those families-especially our own St. Agatha School families- whose soldiers are serving our country far from home today.
