Rocket Report
Dear Parents,
Pope Francis has stated that “God’s mercy transforms human hearts; it enables us, through the experience of a faithful love, to become merciful in turn.” During this Mission Week, our students have fully experienced how to be merciful and full of faithful love through their Mission Week activities. They have learned and served as well as represented the Assumption community so very well in the Louisville community at large. In the end, whether experiencing something as big as a mission trip or something as small as an act of kindness, our students’ hearts have grown full and, hopefully, have been inspired to carry this message of faith throughout the year. This is excellence empowering at Assumption High School. Thank you for your prayers and support of your daughters during this very special week.
