Virtue of the Week- Courtesy

This week our students are studying the virtue of courtesy. Courtesy means treating others with respect, recognizing that all are made in God's image and likeness. We can cultivate courtesy by:

Letting others go first, "You can go first", "Let's work together"
Practice manners, speak in a gentle, patient tone, do not interrupt
Show awareness of the feelings of others, go out of your way for others

Check in with your child! How do they demonstrate the virtue of Courtesy?

Food Closet Ministry

In preparation for the holidays, the HT Food Closet is looking for donations of these foods. School families can donate food anytime and for Free Dress Fridays.

Holiday Service Opportunities

Donations to the Food Closet Holiday effort:
This year the Food Closet is combining Thanksgiving and Christmas donation requests into a single donation request towards a collective Food Closet Holidays effort. The easiest (and preferred) donation method is through the website at h-t.org/fc-holidays. We also have envelopes available in the narthex that have a green “Food Closet Holiday Donation” label. Please include “Food Closet Holidays” in the memo line of your check donations.
Thanksgiving Food Donations:
Bring food anytime to donate or donate at Thanksgiving Day Mass. After Mass, the pantry will be open to take everything over.
Christmas Toy Drive:
The Beaverton School District, Family Justice Center, and the Oregon Department of Health & Services are each hosting a toy drive at their facilities, and our parish-wide toy collection will be divided between the three groups. Toy collection boxes will be in the narthex beginning the first weekend of Advent.
