It isn't how we start our "race" but how we finish the "race." Great homily Father Ben!
❤️🤍💙 Happy Veteran's Day
Today, we pause to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. We are grateful for their courage, sacrifice, dedication, and willingness to put others before themselves.
As a Catholic school community, we are reminded of Jesus' words in John 15:13:
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
Today, we are reminded of what it means to live like the Saints, to serve others, show courage, make sacrifices, and love our neighbors. Our veterans demonstrate these values through their commitment and service to our country.
May we follow their example by showing gratitude, praying for those who serve, supporting veterans and their families, and finding little ways to make a big difference in the lives of others.
❤️🤍💙 A Veterans Day Prayer: Lord, bless our veterans, protect those currently serving, and watch over their families. May we never take their sacrifices for granted. Help us to live with grateful hearts and a spirit of service to others. Amen.
❤️🤍💙 Thank you, Veterans, for your service and sacrifice. We are forever grateful!

🌟“Caught Living Like a Saint”🌟
Congratulations to our students who were recognized as our October Saints of the Month for living like St. Francis of Assisi! 💚 Levi M. & James C.
St. Francis of Assisi reminds us to live with love, kindness, humility, and compassion toward all of God's creation. He showed us the importance of caring for others, helping those in need, respecting all living things, and finding joy in the simple blessings God gives us each day. His life teaches us to be peacemakers and to share God's love through our words and actions.
Our Saint of the Month recipients have been Caught Living Like a Saint by showing kindness, helping others, caring for God's creation, including those around them, serving with a willing heart, and treating others with love and respect.
We are so proud of these students for following St. Francis's example and being reminders of how we can all Learn, Love, and Light the Way each day! 🌟
Keep Living Like a Saint! 💚🙏

What is our calling?
❤️ Red Ribbon Week at SPCS! ❤️ We’ve enjoyed welcoming the Waukon Police Department and Jean Bossom from Allamakee Substance Abuse Prevention into our buildings over the past two days to learn about safety, kindness, making healthy choices, asking for help, and living the way Jesus calls us to live, as saints in our everyday actions! Our students have loved visiting with these wonderful community members, learning important life lessons, and even enjoying lunch with our officers. 🚔 We have more fun planned for the rest of the week as we continue to make safe, healthy, and faith-filled choices! ❤️💚 #RedRibbonWeek #WildcatWay #LivingLikeSaints
🏆Congratulations to our Week 7 Winners 🐾🏈
