SOCIAL JUSTICE CORNER

Come, follow me! This is the message of Jesus this week in the Gospel. He wishes us to follow him and that can completely change our lives.

Even Jonah, the most stubborn of prophets, finally gets the message. When the town of Nineveh is saved from destruction because they changed their evil ways, Jonah realizes that God is true to his word.

Jesus asks the apostles to change their lives as well. He said, “Come and I will make you fishers of men.” They dropped their nets and immediately followed him. Immediately. His message was a very powerful one and they changed their lives, not knowing where they would go and what they would be doing except following the Word of God. When we listen to the Word of God, how is our world changed? Do we see it differently? Do we act differently? How?

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. The week’s theme—Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service”—focuses on the core of Catholic education. The high-lights of Catholic education are faith development, academic excellence and dedication to service. Our Catholic schools are part of our future as a church and a nation. We at Queen of Apostles School are proud to be a part of the parish commu-nity. We thank the parish for its prayerful support.

Our students say it best:

“ Queen of Apostles is a nice school. There are a lot of kids helping others.”

“ We have faith in God so we pray to Him.”

“Being at Queen of Apostles is like being in a place where you’re always safe.”

“I like learning new things.”

“People here are always willing to do something for someone else, even if they don’t get anything in return.”

“ Everyone who goes to Catholic Schools (teachers, students, etc.) cares about everyone and their surroundings because they were taught to do so.”

“Catholic schools provide an opportunity to go to school with people who genuinely value morals.”

“You grow with God and learn at the same time being a better student and child of God.”

“ The teachers actually want to be there and teach their students with good methods.”

“Catholic school gives me the opportunity to learn things that I might not learn in other schools such as Spanish and Religion.”

“…gives me the chance to take part in the Catholic community.”

“ I feel a great responsibility attending a Catholic school. I also feel secure.”

“More is expected of us, so we work hard and have a better attitude towards each other.”

“My parents sent me to a Catholic School because they love me and want me to learn more about God.”

“We are a community of service because we help others: going to Sacred Heart to organize and prepare food.”

“Queen of Apostles is a team.”

“ If somebody asks me about Queen of Apostles I say we are a great school and a great community.”
