This year’s school theme is “We are Workers in God’s Vineyard.” We are not workers because we wished to be workers; it is God who called us to be. It is our mission to strive to know God better by carrying out His will. Working in the vineyard is not easy. Those who don’t successfully work in the vineyard will have a very challenging time entering heaven. “Many…will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.”
This year we are going to focus on being strong workers in God’s vineyard. We are going to strengthen ourselves physically through good actions and deeds and spiritually through our prayer life. We will build up the virtues needed to pass through the narrow gate.
