“I think the difference between me and some people is that I’m content to do my little bit. Sometimes people think they have to do big things in order to make change. But if each one would light a candle we’d have a tremendous light.”
Sister Thea Bowman

Thanksgiving season is here and a time to be thankful for the life of Sister Thea Bowman who, according to Sister Antona Ebo, FSM, “God put a new song in her mouth (Psalm 40) which she continues to sing today, challenging us to be instruments of God’s peace and love.”
Thank you so much for supporting Sister Thea Bowman Catholic School!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Celebration giving thanks to God for all God’s gifts.
