Catholic Schools Week at St. Ann School

St. Ann School, seen from the intersection of Prospect and Pleasant streets.

Catholic Schools Week is a time when we are able to open our doors to the
community at large and showcase the very best we have to offer at St. Ann
School. The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2012 is Faith, Academics, and
Service, which are all areas of strength at St. Ann School.

On Tuesday, 1/31, our K – 8 students were entertained by Jedlie, who
presented “The Challenge – To Live as Jesus Taught Us” (www.jedlie.com).
Through magic, stories, humor, song, and dance, Jedlie presented a faith-based
program for our students that encouraged them to treat each other with respect
and to stand up for one another.

Our students have spent the past month collecting warm weather gear for
families in need, and we will wrap up the week with a Patriots Spirit Day on
Friday to raise money for Catholic Charities.

About Fr Matthew Green

Currently parochial vicar at Holy Family Parish, on Cape Ann (serving the churches of St. Ann, St. Joachim, and St. Anthony). I moved to the area in early August '11, and am very happy to be in such a welcoming community and beautiful location! One of my hobbies is photography. You can see my photos on Flickr and buy prints of some of them on Fine Art America. I am a daily contributor to GoodMorningGloucester (GMG for short), a blog by and about the community of Gloucester specifically and Cape Ann in general. The content is diverse, ranging from the beautiful and sublime to the earthy and occasionally offensive. I hope my contributions are of the former kind, not the latter. So, while I cannot endorse all the content that is posted there, I am grateful to Joey (the founder and admin of the blog) for giving me space to make my contribution. I also have my own blog, Perpetual Learner, which mostly includes my homilies and some re-posts from GMG, but also sometimes has other content, such as my personal reflections, videos I like, etc.
