Message from our Principal

Dear Saint Sebastian Family,

Affirmation of the week: “Whatever I do, I will do it with all my heart.”  In one of Paul’s letters, he gives us the best reason to have a good attitude towards working and serving: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does. Hard work honors the Lord; and that means, whatever you do, when you do it to the best of your ability, you please the Lord. And when the task is finished, you will also feel good about a job well done.

Mr. Suk

Principal
