A Prayer for Grandparents
by Pope Benedict
Lord Jesus, you were born of the Virgin Mary
The daughter of Saints Joachim and Anne.
Look with love on grandparents the world over
Protect them. They are a source of enrichment for
Families, for the Church and all of society.
Support them as they grow older,
May they continue to be for their families
Strong pillars of Gospel faith,
Guardian of noble domestic ideals,
Living treasuries of solid religious tradition,
Make them teachers of wisdom and courage,
That they pass on to future generation the fruits
of their mature human and spiritual experience.
Lord Jesus
Help families and society
To value the presence and role of grandparents
May they never be ignored or excluded
But always encounter respect and love
Help them to live serenely and to feel welcomed
In all the years of life you give them.
Mary, mother of all the living
Help Grandparents constantly in your care
Accompany them on your earthly pilgrimage,
And by your prayer, grant that all families
May one day be reunited in our heavenly homeland
Which you await all humanity for the great embrace of life without end Amen.

Our Students Speak:
a talk by two of our sixth-graders
St. Rose Church, Sunday, Jan 31st
Hi, I’m Kaylee, and I’m Elizabeth, and we are both currently in the sixth
grade at St. Rose School.
In Catholic school, we’ve learned many valuable skills that we believe will
help us in our future. We have learned many things from the education we have
gotten so far from Catholic school. We have been taught to apply our knowledge
to real life situations and understand information effectively. We also have
many extra-curricular programs that help us discover out interests in different
activities, such as sports, drama, and music.
Catholic school has shown us to be leaders in out daily life and take responsibility
for our own actions. We have many experiences of working in groups where we
show respect for others and leadership. We are also taught to make responsible
decisions and help others to do the same.
In religion, we learn to be faithful to God and help others in time of need.
We all know that God loves each one of us, which is the main theme for St.
Rose Catholic School. We also remember to always think positively in difficult
situations. One other important thing that Catholic schools focus on in religion
is helping others. Students are motivated to do this by doing service
hours, where we get chances to participate in our Parish and community. Examples
of the types of service we do is volunteering in the Parish Festival, working
at the Pancake Breakfast, and altar serving.
The community of a Catholic school is very inspiring and always willing
to help. The teachers are always ready to be supportive and make learning
interesting. We also have many parent volunteers that make many of our holiday
celebrations exciting and entertaining. Also at school we have many chances
to get to know our classmates. I remember when I first came to St. Rose School.
I was shy and nervous to approach my class, but before I could even say hi
to anyone, they came to me and welcomed me warmly. My classmates helped me
to get to know our school and came to me whenever I needed help. I was surprised
at how kind they were to me and was never hesitant to ask for help.
Being in Catholic school is a very valuable experience where you develop
important skills that help us to have a faithful and fulfilling life in relationship
with God. Thank you.
