A Merry Christmas Message from St. Ignatius Catholic School and System President Nathan Vande Hey

December 24, 2022

As we prepare for Christmas, we recall that Advent is a time of hope and preparation, as we await the coming of Jesus. During this time, we reflect and give thanks for the many blessings bestowed upon us, prepare our hearts and souls to welcome Christ, and also pray for those members of our school and parish community and families who may be facing challenges during this time. The birth of Jesus signifies a new beginning for all of us and in God’s beautiful plan for our lives and salvation. It’s a time for renewed hope, peace, love, and new beginnings.

On behalf of the staff of St. Ignatius Catholic School, I wish you and your family a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and a new year blessed with health and happiness.

“My prayer for you is that when Christ comes to you in Christmas, He may find in you a warm home, warm love like that of a heartful of love, like that of a simple shepherd who was the first one chosen to see Christ.” – St. Teresa of Calcutta

Peace & Joy,

Nathan Vande Hey
System President
St. Ignatius Catholic School
