Shamrock School Scoop

Thank you to all the parents who attended Parent Teacher Conferences. Your involvement and engagement is needed and appreciated. We had 96% participation in our Fall Conferences! What a testament to your commitment to the school/family culture and show of support toward your child’s growth and education.

School pictures will be taken Friday, September 28th. Please ensure your child is wearing picture day appropriate clothing. A note was sent home, and details are below. The school uniform is MORE than okay – please don’t stress too much about this! Yearbooks are still available in the school office for pre-order at $10 each.

I am so proud to be a part of the good things happening in our school each and every day.

+Peace in Christ

Its been a rough few months for Holy Mother Church, locally and universal. Many of us find ourselves confused, doubting, angry, and unsure. We have little eyes looking up at us, trusting us to lead them in the right direction. As women, the life bearers of the world, we can bring new life into the Church. We are raising the next generation of Catholic Christians. Please join us for coffee, fellowship, and a discussion with Fr. Sean Kilcawley addressing the role of mothers in combating the current crisis in the Body of Christ

Fr. Sean Kilcawley (Lincoln MOMs Spiritual Director) is a nationally recognized speaker on the Theology of the Body, Human Love and pornography addiction. He was ordained a priest in 2005 for the Diocese of Lincoln. In 2013, Fr. Kilcawley completed a License in Sacred Theology at John Paul II institute for marriage and family studies in Rome and returned to the Diocese of Lincoln as director of Religious Education. Fr. Kilcawley currently serves as the Director of theOffice of Family Life and theological advisor for Integrity Restored.com - a non-profit organization that seeks to restore the integrity of families affected by pornography by providing education and resources to individuals, spouses, parents, and clergy; to both heal and prevent wounds inflicted by the sexualized culture.
