Office of Mission Advancement December 11, 2017 Greetings, Cotter community! "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." (Romans 15:13) Today begins the final week of classes for the semester. Not only are final projects and exams looming for our students and teachers, but Christmas preparations and activities are fast-approaching.Throughout all of the hustle and bustle of this time of year, we are called to be mindful that God is present - today, tomorrow, and always. Let us pray for the grace to recognize the presence of God in everything we do and in everyone we meet! God of peace and joy, fill us with the hope of the Savior who was born in Bethlehem and who will come again. Let our lives be decorated with your joy so that others might see the hope we have in you. Amen. (The ACT of Advent) "O come, O come Emmanuel . . . " St. Joseph, patron of Cotter Schools - pray for us. Live, Jesus, in our hearts - forever.
Blessings on your day! MISSION STATEMENT
