Greetings, Cotter community!
This week we celebrate National Catholic Schools Week. Our theme for the week and into the upcoming weeks of Lent is COMPASSION - encouraging each other to more fully become people of loving kindness and compassion, welcoming to all, supportive of those in need.
"The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love. The Lord is good to all, compassionate to every creature."
Psalm 145: 8,9
We are blessed to participate in the mission of Catholic education in the Winona area and are grateful for all who support Cotter Schools in so many ways! Join us in praying this prayer for our Catholic School community:
Loving God, you bless people of all ages with the gift of your Spirit.
Bless our Catholic School students, families, and teachers as they strive to be your witness in our world. Inspire our community with courage to spread your Word and to live your Truth.
Bless in a special way those who make Catholic education possible for all. May we all work together to bring your Gospel message to life!
We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
St. Joseph, patron of Cotter Schools - pray for us.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts - forever.
Blessings on your day!
