Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month. From time to time, the Holy Father may add a second prayer intention related to current events or urgent needs, like disaster relief.
September's prayer intention from Pope Francis: The Protection of the Oceans That politicians, scientists and economists work together to protect the world's seas and oceans.

On August 16th the school assembled to kick off our STREAM theme of the year: Guardians of God's Creation: Stewards of the Waterways. We were visited by an Environmental Specialist II, Ryan from the Pinellas County Government's Public Works department. He explained the importance of keeping our watershed clean. Father Matt emphasized the importance of water to our faith and blessed us with holy water. Finally, Mrs. Kuhlman led the students through an exercise that helped reinforce the importance of Water in other countries that are less fortunate than ours. She shared her experiences in Haiti with the students as they were led through an activity. We also learned the meaning of "MESI Bondye Mesi" which is Creole for Thank You Jesus, Thank You!
