OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP CATHOLIC SCHOOL FRIDAY FANFARE
AUGUST 10 - 14, 2009 www.myolph.com
Please attend Mass this weekend with your Parish Priest. "Stay awake and be ready! For you do not know on what day the Son of Man will come." Matthew 24
Our monthly character traits will be cardinal and theological virtues. We live our virtues in the Fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). In the Bible we read about Fruits of the Holy Spirit that God wants to grow in our lives. These fruits are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Probably most kids, even you, would like to have these characteristics. We all try to live these values. But it's hard to always love, or be good or self-controlled when things aren't going our way or we are tired or some one is giving us a hard time. The Fruits of the Holy Spirit are outward signs that the Holy Spirit lives inside the person.

Congratulations to John Hillman, a 4th grader at OLPH who swam with the FTO Marlins this summer and received many awards. He placed first in the 25 Breast and 100 IM in the GRPA District Meet, and broke both District records for each event. This qualified him to go to the State Meet where he placed 3rd in the 25 yd Breaststroke and 2nd in the 100 IM.
