Principal s Message What a wonderful football season!! The Football team and Cheerleaders have exhibited great sportsmanship in all their games and that in itself is a victory. The old saying holds true it is not whether you win or lose that counts but how you play the game! The experience of being part of a group, whether it is a sports team or club, teaches our young people the core value of hard work, patience, and perseverance. The day to day balancing of practices, meetings and schoolwork helps them to build the skills of being organized and teaches them how to budget their time. I encourage all of our students to get involved in school activities and take advantage of clubs and sport opportunities that SHCS has to offer. I invite all of our families to attend a SHCS sporting event or club sponsored activity and support their fellow students. We just can t hide our Eagle Pride!!!

The Catholic Church has dedicated the month of October to pray the Rosary in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is primarily due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated on October 7. Pope St. Pius V introduced the feast day in 1571 in gratitude for the protection Mary gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by the faithful. The practice of dedicating the entire month of October to the Holy Rosary developed toward the end of the last century. Together with the universal Church, Sacred Heart Catholic School is very excited to begin a Living Rosary for the month of October. The Living Rosary is a special way to join our prayers with those of others, through the powerful prayer of Our Lady s Rosary. This is the way that it works: Each SHCS family and classroom will be assigned one decade of the Rosary to recite faithfully and at any time each day. A Rosary is made up of 20 decades, so the most important thing to know is that nineteen other families decades will join with yours to form a Living Rosary. Furthermore, each family will receive all the graces from the prayers of all the families who participate in the Sacred Heart School Living Rosary. Imagine all the graces your family will receive from just saying one decade of the Rosary! Parents, if you have friends or relatives who would like join our Living Rosary, you are welcome to come by Sr. Faustina's room to pick them up or send a note with your child to school. In this month of the Holy Rosary, let us consider this beautiful prayer of the Rosary as a mean to draw closer to Jesus and Mary by meditating on the great mysteries of our salvation and to obtain the graces for the needs and intentions of our families. Sr. Faustina Vu, OP
