The virtue for the month of November is "Goodness" (in all we do). Goodness is the desire to do good and to be good; this should always be at the front of a faithful Christian's mind. We know that Jesus came to forgive us and give us eternal life. We show our thanks for this gift in the good we do. Virtue Mass: 7th grade, Tuesday, November 22, 8:15.
