Saint Wenceslaus Catholic School Weekly Office Update
From the Office of Principal
Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Friends of SWS,
Happy Easter,
How lucky are we to be believers of the resurrection! God gives us a path to salvation from death to new life with Him. This is a special gift that guides us in our earthly life as we learn and prepare for the glory that God has in store for us. Faith is what takes us on our journey.
St. Wenceslaus is a a wonderful example of community where people of the same and similar beliefs join with each other to support, comfort, live and grow closer to each other and to God. We are Easter people!
