“A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints.” This powerful quote by Pope Benedict XVI really made me reflect on the countless people that throughout my years at St.Didacus have wanted exactly this for me. Not only demonstrated in the school , but the parish community as well. We hear the word “community” so much from preschool to 8th grade, however, not until now do I feel the power of the word. For 12 years, my parents have sacrificed so that this very special place, called St. Didacus would prepare me for the greatest gift of all, to be with God forever.
When I was in second grade, my mom had a stroke. I remember how sad I was, I really didn't know what was going to happen to her. Every night a different family from the community would deliver dinner to us. They would often write little notes to my sisters and I, with kind words that made us feel much better. This made us feel so special and it helped us feel like we belonged. This is just one instance that the St. Didacus community has been there for my family and I. …show more content…
St. Didacus has been a huge part of my life. I have grown academically, physically but most importantly spiritually. When I was younger, I remember seeing both of my sisters graduate and I was very sad that they left but also proud of their accomplishments. I hoped that someday I would be like them and walk out of the school doors with Jesus at my side. Every day I see children from public school and I secretly thank God for my education and the way the school has taught me to act. I thank the only Pastor I have ever known here at St. Didacus , our leader Fr. Mike, Mrs. LaCosta and Mrs. Tollefson, every teacher and staff member that has played a role in teaching me to be saint some
