A celebration of faith and
sharing marked Catholic
Schools Week around the
Archdiocese of Atlanta. The
week, observed Feb. 1-7
around the theme, “Cath

Future,” inspired a variety
of programs which drew on
the students’ knowledge,
creativity and generosity.
At St. John the Evangelist
School in Hapeville, the
observance opened with a
Liturgy planned by fourth
grade students under the
guidance of their teacher,
Mrs. Kim Sloan, and
celebrated by the pastor,
Father Michael A. Woods.
During the Mass students
read letters written by their
parents expressing how
Catholic schools had touch
ed and influenced their
lives.
The weeklong festival of
faith involved each grade
presenting projects relat
ing to the religion cur
riculum. Kindergarten and
first grade children learned
songs with gestures which
they performed at a school
assembly. Fourth grade
students enacted Moses
receiving the ten com
mandments and Jesus giv
ing the new law at the Ser
mon on the Mount. The
stories of Abraham. Moses,
David, Solomon and Ruth
were presented in skits
researched, written and
presented by the sixth
grade students under the
direction of Sister Carol
Tropiano, R.S.M.
The assembly concluded
on a prayerful note with
Keisha Williams, Leigh
Blackburn and Jessica
Murphy performing a
liturgical dance to “Come
Worship the Lord."
