STM Newsletter for May 25, 2016

View this email in your browser Newsletter for Wednesday, May 25, 2016 Dear Parents, As May draws to a close, we reflect on its association with Mary. During this special month, in which we celebrated Christ's Ascension into Heaven and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, we are reminded to always keep Mary in our hearts. As we carry on through the year, we should continue to develop a deep personal relationship with Mary – one of love, affection, devotion and trust, so that she always has an important place in our lives. Let's all try to take some practical steps such as praying the Rosary or maybe saying a special prayer like the Memorare throughout the year, not just during May, to deepen our devotion to Mary. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Queen of Peace, so as we pray, we offer our prayers for peace in our city and throughout the world. STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS Congratulations to all our candidates for running a very successful and effective campaign for the 2016-17 Student Council. All the candidates provided festive and informative campaign materials and each gave rousing campaign speeches to excite the 4th through 8th grade voters! Again this year, the ballots were collected and tabulated electronically. The results demonstrated that every candidate had the support of many voters and the races were fairly fought and fairly won!
