Thanksgiving Day

May your Thanksgiving be filled with peace, love, and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you for the many ways you support our St. Finn Barr community!

Dear Lord,
Today we give thanks
For our many blessings,,
As we pray for those in need.
We give thanks
For our family and friends
As we pray for those who are lonely.
We give thanks for our freedoms
As we pray for those who are oppressed.
We give thanks for our good health
As we pray for those who are ill.
We give thanks for our comfort and prosperity
As we share our blessings with others.
On this day of Thanksgiving,
May the love of God enfold us,
The peace of God dwell within us
And the joy of God uplift us.
Amen

Congratulations to the St. Finn Barr Catholic School Class of 2023!

We have made many wonderful memories together at SFB, and they will be memories you cherish as you move into high school and the years beyond that. But we will also hold on to those memories because, you see, once you're a Shamrock, you will ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ด be a Shamrock! We could not be more proud of how you have carried yourself and flourished during this time and we look forward to hearing all about your many accomplishments as you continue to pursue your education as critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and compassionate children of God.

Wishing you blessings on your next step!
