Dear Viking Families:
One of the best parts of working in a Catholic school is the opportunity to see our Catholic values at work! Yesterday at Mass, our students were reminded of the impact St. Veronica has made on our Catholic community. She is best known for wiping the sweat from Jesus’ brow as he carried his cross to Calvary. However, her miracle is with us, even today. When St. Veronica wiped Jesus' brow, an image of Jesus’ face was imprinted on the cloth. The Veil of Veronica then traveled to Rome and was presented to the Roman Emperor Tiberius. This image is now known as the Holy Face of Jesus and is housed at St. Peter’s Cathedral in the Vatican. As Catholics, we believe the veil possesses miraculous gifts, to quench thirst, cure blindness and raise people from the dead.
During Wednesday’s Mass, our 1st graders, new students and new staff of St. Veronica School were presented with a Holy Face of Jesus medal. It contains the same image that is on the Veil of Veronica, and offers us a chance to connect to the patron saint of our school. Please join me in praying for the students and staff of our school, as they wear this image and remember that Jesus is with them always. May this gift from St. Veronica, be forever held in our hearts.
God bless,
Stephanie
