An Advent Prayer for Families 
 
Heavenly Father, your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us, a great sign of your love. Guide us as we strive to walk in that love together as a family this Advent. As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, bring us closer to each other and to your son. Give us the grace and strength we need every day. Help us to always trust in you. Come, Lord Jesus, lead all people closer to you. Come and dispel the darkness of our world with the light of your love. Amen.
   

During the month of December, we ask the students and staff to focus on the value of Patience as well as reflect on  Lk 2:19:  "And Mary Kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart."  We are asked to reflect on how waiting for what we want will help us to belong even more to Jesus? Advent is a perfect time to be patient as we pray to, and listen and look for God in our daily lives.

This month we will participate in the Christmas Boutique that will raise funds to go toward the Angel Project in Ghana. We are helping to build a school through funds we raise. Visit our Facebook page to see highlights of the project gains from last year alone. Please support this initiative through the youth ministry group of St. Margaret as we work collectively to raise awareness to the cause.
