Dear Panther Families,
I am happy to announce that our theme for next school year is: "Come, Follow Me!" (Mt 4:19)!
I can't help but imagine Jesus looking at each one of us personally and offering you and I this life-changing invitation to be his disciple, to be his friend, and to follow Him to the cross that leads to the resurrection. And we are met with a choice: to follow the path of our modern, secular world that worships the individual and preaches the mantra, "Do whatever you want, when you want, how you want to do it", or to follow after Christ and live radically different lives - lives that are virtuous and sacrificial, lives that are grounded in the truth, and lives that are nourished and set ablaze with the Eucharist. Here's the kicker: our response will either lead us to an empty sadness or an authentically life-giving joy and peace.
Each and every day this school year, Jesus Christ will pose this invitation to our hearts: "Come, Follow Me!" What response will we give him?!
Fr. Labenz
