Valentine's Service Project

How would you like to show your love on Valentine's Day?

Father has given Mrs. Moreno permission to organize a Parents' Night Out for Valentine's Day.
This Sunday, Mrs. Moreno will come to our classes and explain the details. We will need LOTS of help. Many of you are in need of service hours. This will be a fabulous opportunity to earn them.

Hundreds of years ago, I was young too, and had dreams of what a perfect Valentine's Day was. I have since learned that the perfect Valentine's Day may very well be in emulating Saint Valentine and the other Saints who put others first and followed the request of Jesus to serve others.

Looking for God?

"But not only are we restless for God: God’s heart is restless for us. God is waiting for us. He is looking for us. He knows no rest either, until he finds us. God’s heart is restless, and that is why he set out on the path towards us...God is restless for us, he looks out for people willing to 'catch' his unrest, his passion for us, people who carry within them the searching of their own hearts and at the same time open themselves to be touched by God’s search for us". We too, children of modernity, may not remain completely insensitive to a God who is restless for us.” Pope Benedict XVI
