Let all you do be done in Love…through C.L.O.V.E.R.

Week of April 8, 2024

Dear parents,

Today is the Solemnity of the Annunciation. Usually this is celebrated on March 25; however, this was during Holy Week this year. During Holy week we focus on Jesus’ Passion. Therefore the Solemnity of the Annunciation was moved to April 8, 2024. The Solemnity of the Annunciation is the day we celebrate the archangel Gabriel visiting virgin Mary at which he informs her that she will be the mother of Jesus.

Many protestants believe we worship Mary; however, that is not true. We do recognize the importance of Mary’s purpose, her example of pure faith, and that she is the mother of the son of God! Mary was conceived and born without sin; thus, chosen to be the mother of Jesus. I hope all of you will find prayer time today to remember and be thankful for Mary’s fiat, “Let it be done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38)

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at school. We will be unburying the Alleluia at 7:50am in the gym to start our day!

In Christ,

Mrs. Saundra Kennison, principal

My background

BS in Physical Education and Health - IUPUI; MS in School Administration – Indiana Wesleyan

Why do I work at St. Malachy

I truly believe that God called me to St. Malachy; it’s in His plan for me. I love working with all the students and staff at St. Malachy.

Where do I usually sit in Church

Well at school mass, I sit with Mrs. Prahl’s class because Mrs. Prahl was my sponsor when I went through RCIA. However, when I attend mass with my husband, we usually sit in the back not so we can sneak out but because we can sit down quickly and see Jesus in the stained glass.

How would I describe St. Malachy to someone who has never been here

It’s home…where my other family comes to grow. St. Malachy is a family that has very high expectations and students and staff sometimes experience growing pains, but when their time comes to leave St. Malachy they are more than prepared to meet and conquer the next challenge knowing that they can calls us if they ever need help because we are family!

Home, family, pets

I’ve been married to my amazing husband, George, for 27 years. We have three children and one princess (Macy our 2 year old boxer).

Favorite scripture passage

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” Philippians 4:13. This is the reason I am capable of doing anything and all praise goes to God.

One memory of church growing up

I didn’t like going to church because it seemed so long, but now as an adult, I love going to mass to celebrate!

Favorite quote

"If you take care of the small things, the big things take care of themselves” Emily Dickinson
