Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life. 3) Brian Cyriacks & Brittany Elmendorf 2) Samson Sebastian & Cynthia Varghese St. Rita School Seats are still available for our Pre-K-For-All program.
