Dear San Felipe de Neri Families, Retiring Staff As we come to the close of our special school year, I would like to acknowledge two staff members who will be retiring and will be continuing their personal journeys in other ways. Mrs. Naranjo, our second grade teacher has decided to spend more time with her husband and extended family members. Mr. Simon Martinez, our Physical Education and Health teacher has also elected to retire and continue other pursuits in life. Our community has been blessed to have their sense of humor, their own individual expertise, and their love of children. Our prayers go with them as they continue to live their Catholic lives among their family members. We have appreciated everything you have done for our school. God watch over and bless you always!

Dear San Felipe de Neri Parents, Easter Celebrations Celebrations are everywhere lately! Congratulations to our newly baptized children and our young adults. We have even had a wedding in our community, blessed by the church. All of us join wishing you a holy journey as you continue to develop your faith filled days. We need your help to remind students that they must actively participate during our masses. They are expected to respond reverently and to sing on Sunday and during our week day masses. Talk to your child about the importance of this most holy celebration. When we attend mass together we can model for them the appropriate ways to respond. Happy Easter again! (read more...)

Dear San Felipe de Neri School Families, Holy Week The most holy time of year is approaching us all, the Tritiuum of the Holy Week. I pray your Lenten sacrifices have made you more aware of our Lord's love of you and your family and all the gifts He has bestowed upon us. Many Holy Thursday and Good Friday prayer services are available in all of our parishes. Adoration is organized for all of us also. Take advantage of these opportunities to help you complete your Lenten journey. Happy Easter to everyone. (read more....)

Dear San Felipe de Neri Families, Lenten Journey We have nearly completed our Lenten journey for 2012! Children are talking about their continuing efforts to keep their promises of giving something up. No chocolate, coke, desserts, helping my grandmother, and other things. Hopefully our small sacrifices will enable us to make the world a better place with kindness and peaceful conversations that reflect the acceptance of our diverse world. (read more....)
